Yesterday, on Thursday May 27, Erik Loef and I delivered a session at the May virtual event of the Microsoft Cloud and Client Management Community. The Microsoft Cloud and Client Management Community is a Belgian community with the following members: Tim de Keukelaere, Wim Matthyssen, Tim Hermie, Ken Goossens, Jasper Bernaers, Peter de Tender, Peter Linders and Micha Wets.
The topic of our session was: “What is this Modern Authentication everyone is talking about, and why you should phase out Legacy authentication”. During this session Erik Loef and I talked about why phasing out Legacy Authentication is a good idea even though Microsoft postponed its decision to phase out legacy authentication for Exchange Online for now.
The presentation is available on my GitHub page for download: MC2MC – Modern Authentication – 27052021.pdf. The session was also recorded, once available I will update this article.
Below are some more links about the topics that were discussed:
