API Key and 2FA Requirements Enforced for remaining Free Users

In order to enhance security for all of our users, Twilio SendGrid now requires customers on free plans to use API Key authentication on all API requests and SMTP configurations. Customers impacted by this breaking change will experience authentication errors when making API calls or SMTP requests using basic authentication with their username and password. Customers must also enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for all users. Visit our docs for more information on Upgrading to API Keys and Enabling Two-Factor Authentication. If you did not receive notifications about this change please update your account email address.
