Hello, you forgot to post the link to the page with the code. I know you haven't read the other comments, but maybe you'll thank a little reminder. It would help many of us.

A year later, and still too lazy to read comments or actually post the link lol.

Awesome video. Exactly I watch your video on 1 year, after you uploaded.

hi sir i just want to know how to setup my outlook account for it. can i use this same way for send email via outlook..?

I am getting this error "The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.57 Client not authenticated to send mail"

[@tutorialsEUC]

Are you sure that you are using the correct SMTP port of the e-mail service? Usually that error means that you login information or SMTP config is wrong :)

@@tutorialsEUC your app doesn't work. I think it's an authorization problem, the basic authentication doesn't work anymore with Microsoft, OAuth2 is required

Uma forma interessante seria criar uma fila em segundo plano e enviar, desta maneira sua aplicação não trava ao esperar o envio. Valeu pelo vídeo!!

What I can do If I do not want to expose my password like this? If I have my application in production no developer would want their password visible in the code like this... Can you suggest an idea how to hide my password or authenticate another way?

[@filiptrivan]

use appsettings

[@Sandman.886]

I think you can just declare a static variable with the password somewhere else and just call that variable instead of writting it

sir how can I use TLS instead of SSL

[@joseantoniosanchesgarcia9220]

Hello bro, I got this error using the same configuration: The function requested is not supported, I am using mailTrap

[@Daniel-tx6hx]

This is not the recommended approach because the username and password are exposed, and if the project is accessible to others, it is not practical. The recommended method is to send emails using the API-obtain a special key from Google or another provider, and everything else is quite similar.

[@collinskiplagat6589]

This is actually not true. This is actually the right approach. As for credentials being exposed, we could store them in environment variables.

[@chotamulenga485]

how can you hide the email and password from being in the source code?

[@mazurkrl]

"The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.57 Client not authenticated to send mail. Error: 535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, basic authentication is disabled." Idk why noone is pointing this out in the comments but basic authentication is apparently disabled since 2023 so this tutorial is outdated already

[@gabrielfernandes8401]

This was working for me in September of 2024 (though I wasn't exposing the password in the code like this). But now I'm getting the same exact error about basic auth being disabled. Currently searching the internet for the new solution, but no luck yet.

[@mazurkrl]

@@gabrielfernandes8401 I used google's smtp. But you do have to link your account with ur phone number and enable 2 step authentication. Then create app password and pass it in code instead of your regular password. Basically basic authentication but with some bs to do beforehand. Idk why all smtp services collectively disabled basic authentication. I dont want to set up whole azure portal link my credit card and authenticate with oauth2 for some small personal project xddd

[@zat1245]

I don’t understand your confusion. The error you posted says the problem. You are sending only basic authentication and the server you are sending to has basic authentication disabled. You just need to have your api use OAuth2. SmtpClient does not support this. You need to research using MailKit.

[@deepakkaliprasad]

facing the same issue. did you find answer for this ?

[@zat1245]

@@deepakkaliprasad The issue is listed in the error. The SMTP server you are connect to requires a secure connection and could not authenticate because basic authentication (passing the username and password raw) is diabled. So, it depends on the SMTP server you are using. Some allow you to turn off OAUTH2 authentication, some will provide you an app password to use in your apps, others will require you to create credentials to be used. So, find out what you need for yours and use MailKit instead as the basic one used here is deprecated

How to use it for emails in database with API

[@wolfgang5945]

Is it limited to sending mail? After 1 time I still haven't been able to send mail anymore!

[@overnine7602]

Guess It depends on the SMPT Provider - in case of gmail, you can configure your account to be used in "unsecure apps" and still as they say, some email can be filtered anyway

[@joegreen427]

Um what if i dont want the email sent until someone registers a new account? And then verify it once the email is sent

[@sabuwk12]

I’d assume you’d have to have some sort of database where you’d run a query to see registered emails. And check if a specific email is in your database. You then would perform that check and if it’s validated true then perform the email stuff in the video.

[@Thorne991]

Sorry, This one is pretty much click bait at this point. He speaks well but leaves out a bunch of "Other" code from what he shows and there is no source code to download. Just says "go to my free course" which has a money back guarantee.

[@zat1245]

And yet from this video I have copied the method he demonstrates and it works. Skill issue, champ. Maybe start with something less advanced.

[@oilondabeats9011]

Hold on email paladin and how many of those emails u can send per day ?

[@attilaguba856]

for example Gmail is 500/day , but better if you use SendGrid or etc!
