    name: smtpmail
    server: smtp.office365.com
    port: 587
    timeout: 15
    sender: !secret notification_sender
    starttls: true
    username: !secret notification_username
    password: !secret notification_password
    recipient:
      - !secret notification_recipient

and in secrets.yaml

To create a new app password for an app or device, take the following steps. You can repeat these steps to create an app password for as many apps or devices as you need.

  1. Go to the Security basics page and sign in to your Microsoft account.
  2. Select More security options .
  3. Under App passwords , select Create a new app password . A new app password is generated and appears on your screen.
