Hi, I have been checking my gmail fine until today ... found this ... " To help keep your account secure, starting May 30, 2022 , Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password." OK it say…

Google turns off "less secure access" periodically, seemingly at Random. Have you tried turning it back on? I had to do that last week. After May 30th I'll either have to figure out how to get app passwords to work, or switch to Telegram for my notifications. Edit: or find a new Email provider f…
