Gmail and OAuth2

Security

As of May 30, 2022, Google has decided to cancel sending emails through applications that do not support OAuth2.
Many people used accounts on the @gmail.com domain for various notifications and similar things. What about that?

There is a workaround.

  • Log in to your gmail administration.
  • Security option
  • you must enable 2-factor authentication! (necessarily)
  • next, you will be given the option Password to the application
  • generate a new password here, which will be used in combination with the flood login for the flood project (ex. xxx@gmail.com + original_password, now it will be xxx@gmail.com + password_2)
    Yes, Google allows you to have multiple passwords for one account, and according to this password, it matches what it is used for.
