Change to Email (SMTP) configuration to support OAuth 2.0
WageEasy now supports OAuth 2.0 as an email server authentication method. On upgrade to WageEasy v8.1.1.8793, two new radio buttons are added to the Email/Proxy tab of the Server Configuration Wizard (File>Company Details> Configuration > Email/Proxy):
Please note that you will require information from your email server to complete the Server Email Configuration. Your IT department or whoever manages your email server should be able to assist.
Do you currently use Exchange Online with Basic authentication as your email server and authentication method?
Microsoft has announced that support for Basic authentication with Exchange Online servers is being withdrawn in September 2025. Please ensure that you have configured a new authentication method, like OAuth 2.0, before then. If you do not, you may not be able to generate emails/email payslips from WageEasy.

(File>Company Details> Configuration > Email/Proxy):

- Allow for entry of Employee names with apostrophes and hyphens

- Removal of default setup to CBA bank
- Rejected/cancelled employee onboarding records can now be set to not show by removing the tick against ‘Show Rejected’.
