Transport-email and Google SMTP
-
With Google essentially shutting off "less secure app access" in May, is there anything on the horizon for the email plugin to still function with Google's SMTP? I noticed my alerts stopped working, and when I checked my Google dashboard for the account that sends the alerts, Google had shut off the "less secure 3rd party apps access" automatically, and turning it back on was accompanied by a warning that it was being turned off permanently on May 20, 2022.

@jcdick1 If you have 2 Factor authentication enabled on your Google account you can generate a specific password for your SMTP server that's how i setup my SMTP and i really think this will continu working.

@Darkbeldin I wasn't sure about turning on two-factor. I went through that process and generated the "app password" and it seems to be working.
Thanks for the info!
