What you need to know: Microsoft retires one of its authentication methods

Microsoft is retiring basic authentication types for email connections. Workforce members who utilize this authentication method will be required to take action to maintain access to VUMC Email, Calendaring, and Contacts. 

Basic authentication is being retired because it does not support modern security standards such as Multi-Factor Authentication. 

What to do

  • If you receive communications, please take action or you could lose access to VUMC Email, Calendaring, and Contacts
  • Visit the project webpage to find out more about this initative.
