Basic Authentication will end on October so I decided to make a guide on how to handle it
Many thanks for your useful advices.
I would have loved to use the web app but it seems that my M365 business licence is not expensive enough to allow it.
As, on the Microsoft Azure log, the only people to have been signaled with basic authentication (me included) are the only people still with Office 2013, I have tested on my own PC the register modification forcing to use Modern Authentication : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\AlwaysUseMSOAuthForAutoDiscover value set to 1 (for the little story behind it, Office 2013 is the last version to NOT have it set by default).
I see now that I am no longer on the "shame list". I'll watch for a while and if my only problems come from it, I'll feel lucky.
Thanks again.
M365 business (including office 365 and allowing Outlook on the web) AND office 2013/2016/2019 allowing more complete softwares. Some people prefer the real one to the cloudy other.
just added a guide on how to handle different types of devices signing in through basic authentication, might be helpful:
