gmail : Less Secure App will stop May, 30 2022 *Fixed*

[dutch]

Dear Detlef,

I got the new solution for smtp.gmail.com now.

1. 2 Step Verification (2SV)
2. App Password
2.1 Generate password with
Select app: "Mail", Select device: "Windows Computer"
2.2 Get 16 digits password.
2.3 Use this password instead of gmail's password.

done.

Thank you, Dutch.
Unfortunately my client wants to stay at gmail.com to send invoices to her customers.
I' ll try to convince her to change to a service like mailjet.com as you did.

Have a nice weekend.
Regards,
Detlef

Hi hidroxid,

Have you ever send email via gmail account? If so, just change password to "App Password". That's it.
