• Hello,

    All of a sudden today authentication of my emails has failed (I have not changed my email passwords). I use Contact Form 7.

    The only way I can get emails to be sent via the contact form is if I remove authentication in your plugin settings.

    I was previously using the “plain” authentication. Should I try using something else?

    Any help appreciated. This is the error code:
    5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure

    Hello again,

    Before my emails failed to authenticate, I added Google Recaptcha v3.0 to my website (contact form 7). Could that be causing this authentication issue?

    Any help on resolving this appreciated.

    No need reply.
    I have decided that I possibly do not need an SMTP mail plugin and left this be handled by our hosting environment. Thanks in any case
