# Outlook.com Send Email credentials

/// warning | Microsoft has removed Basic Auth and App Passwords for Outlook.com SMTP
Microsoft deprecated Basic Authentication and app passwords for SMTP in Exchange Online and Outlook.com. As a result, the Send Email node **cannot connect to Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 accounts** using username/password or app password authentication.

**To send email from your Outlook.com or Microsoft 365 account, use the [Microsoft Outlook node](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.microsoftoutlook.md), which uses OAuth 2.0 as required by Microsoft.**

Refer to [Microsoft's deprecation notice](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/deprecation-of-basic-authentication-exchange-online#what-we-are-changing) for more information.
