Microsoft is changing the authentication process for external users who access content shared via OneDrive or SharePoint Online


AFFECTED:
  • SB: Microsoft OneDrive for Business - Tenant KIT0
  • SB: Microsoft SharePoint Online - Tenant KIT0

IMPACT: No interruptions.

REASON:
Configuration change

DESCRIPTION:
Microsoft is changing the authentication method external users use to access content shared through OneDrive and SharePoint Online.

The previous SharePoint Online One-Time Passcode (OTP) method will be retired and replaced by Microsoft Entra B2B authentication.

What is changing?
Previously, external users could access shared content by signing in with a SharePoint Online One-Time Passcode (OTP) sent to their email address. Microsoft is moving this process to Microsoft Entra B2B.

Timeline:
  • Starting in July 2026, SharePoint Online One-Time Passcode (OTP) authentication will be gradually retired.
  • The transition is expected to be completed by August 31, 2026.

Impact on existing sharing links:
  • External users who already have a Microsoft Entra B2B guest account will not be affected by this change.
  • External users who do not yet have a Microsoft Entra B2B guest account may no longer be able to access content that was previously shared with them after the retirement begins in July 2026. In this case, an access denied message may appear.
  • To restore access, it is sufficient to re-share a file or folder with the affected user using the same email address. This creates the required guest account.
  • If an external user uses multiple sharing links, re-sharing a single item is sufficient. After that, all previously shared links for this user will work again.

Impact on new sharing links: New sharing links created after the transition will automatically use Microsoft Entra B2B authentication.

What do you need to do?
In most cases, no action is required. If an external user can no longer access shared content after July 2026, simply re-share a file or folder with the same external email address. After that, access to all previously shared content will be restored.
