In the past (maybe around 2022) we can set TFA in Google Account security page, and generate "app password" to use in "email node". Now, this app password can no longer be found in Google Account. Is there still anyway to send email from a flow?

Here is a recent article that might help: [Sending and receiving emails with Node-RED • FlowFuse](https://flowfuse.com/node-red/notification/email/)

Also, check you have enabled 2 factor authentication for your Gmail account (it is now mandatory for generating app passwords)
