hello everyone I tried to send a mail via Node-Red to a Gmail Email address. But then I found out that google less secure app access is no longer available since May 30th, 2022. So because of this you keep getting an error message when sending an E-mail in Node-Red. Is there already a fix for this or a way around this that it does work ? :slight_smile:

Hi @Stanny [image] Stanny: Is there already a fix for this Yes there is a solution. Try searching the forum for "app password"

[image] Gmail "Email-in" node no longer working with username&password General I seem to have said this over and over in recent weeks... In order to continue using gmail from Node-red, you have to set up an app password. In order to set up an app password you have to turn on 2 factor authentication as described here You do need to authenticate with 2FA when you login to create an app pasword see here but the app password bypasses 2FA. Make a note of the app password because Google will never let you see it again. Insert this in the Password field of the email node set…

Excellent guide you linked to there :wink: I would have linked to it but I felt @Stanny should do his own searching!
