Allow Less Secure Apps to Access Your Gmail Account
Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.
Allowing Less Secure Apps
I still can’t log in..
If you still can’t log into your account through your application after changing the “Allow less secure apps” setting, consider enabling 2-Step Verification and creating an application-specific password.
If you cannot access your account using an app password, your application may not meet Google’s new security standards. For example, older versions of Outlook may no longer work with Google’s authentication system. Consider upgrading your application to the latest version and try logging in again.

Google Workspace Admins: Enabling less secure apps to access Google Workspace accounts
Google Workspace Admins: Important Security Changes Coming
Starting in June 2020, Google will limit the ability for less secure apps (LSAs) to access Google Workspace account data. This is most likely to impact users of legacy email, calendar, and contacts apps.
LSAs are non-Google apps that can access your Google account with only a username and password. They make your account more vulnerable to hijacking attempts. Instead of LSAs, you can use apps that support OAuth—a modern and secure access method.

Thank you! finally worked after I turned on 2-step verification and created an app specific password. 🙂 Toggling on Less Secure Apps and unblocking was not enough on it’s own.
GMail starts to block less secure apps: how to enable access again
Gmail users can access their account on the official website or by using first-party or third-party apps and services instead. A first party app is for instance Google’s official Gmail app for Android, while Thunderbird and the mail client app of Windows 8 are third-party apps.
Google announced back in April 2014 that it would improve the sign-in security of its services and affect any application sending usernames and passwords to the company.
The company suggested to switch to OAuth 2.0 back then but did not enforce it up until now.
If you open the new less secure apps page under security settings on Google, you will notice that Google has disabled access by default.
Note : You see the page only if you are not using Google Apps or have enabled two-factor authentication for the account.
Google states on it that «some devices and apps use insecure sign-in» technologies to access account data, and that the disable setting blocks these apps and services from accessing the Google Account.
You can flip the switch here to enable less secure applications again so that access is regained.
A help page lists some of the applications affected by the change:
How to resolve access errors
You have several options at your disposal to resolve the issue:
The easiest option, without doubt, is to switch to enable on the security settings page. Two-Factor authentication may improve the overall security, but since you may need to create app-specific passwords, does not seem to improve security when compared to switching the setting to enable.
It is possible that companies will start to update their applications and services to support Oauth 2.0 so that users don’t have to make a decision in this regard anymore.
For now, the three options listed above is all that is available to those users.

What are “Less Secure Apps” in Google?
May 4th, 2017 · No Comments · IT News, security
If you’ve tried to use Outlook or another traditional e-mail client with GMail, you may have run into this requirement to enable “Less Secure Apps”. There are other situations that may prompt you to turn this on, as well. What does that mean? Why does it matter? I think I can explain.
Google, by default, uses an authentication protocol known as OAuth (specifically, OAuth 2). When you sign in with OAuth, you sign in to Google’s system directly. This is true even when you sign for a third party app. With a correct OAuth implementation, an app will redirect you to Google’s sign-in page, and you never put your password into a place the app can see directly. Once you have signed in, Google issues you a special OAuth token, and the app can then validate and trust from the token that you have signed in properly.
There are several reasons this is important:
A LessSecureApp, then, is anything that doesn’t use OAuth.
Let me give you a couple scenarios where this matters. Let’s say that you connect an online service to your Gmail account… maybe something like Siri of IFTTT (If This Then That). Later the service is then breached or hacked. Because LessSecureApps are disabled and you authenticate via OAuth, that breach does not include your Gmail password. This might be extra important if, say, that Gmail account is where confirmation messages are sent when someone tries to change the password at your bank’s web site. This helps you whether you use a mobile device or a desktop that never even leaves your house.
In another scenario, you use a laptop, tablet, or smart phone, and the device is stolen. With Less Secure Apps on (simple username/password authentication), the thief now has full access to your Gmail account. But with Less Secure Apps disabled you can log into Google and revoke the token issued for that device. The most the thief can see are the messages stored on the device locally. Even a thief who immediately accesses the device, before the token is revoked, will not be able to recover your original password from the device. The thief will not be able to use the account to reset access to other services, like a bank or credit card account.
If it’s such a big deal to enable Less Secure apps, the question now is why Google allows it all? Aside from the cynical view that it would cost them too many Outlook users, there are some legitimate uses for this ability. Where I’m at, we occasionally need to do a mail merge that cannot easily be done through Google’s own service, but is very easy through Outlook. In this case, I will enable Less Secure apps, do the mail merge, and then disable Less Secure apps again. This works for us because the situation only comes up a few times per year.
In practice, I strongly recommend leaving Less Secure apps disabled unless you are also able to turn on two-factor authentication (which you really should do anyway), and in that case Google provides an alternative Per-App Password mechanism to use instead of Less Secure apps anyway.
How to Enable Less Secure Apps in Gmail/G Suite
Google often blocks sign-in attempts from some applications indicating that they’re less secure. It can be quite annoying to mail users and G Suite users alike but it’s possible to enable less secure apps for your Google or G Suite account.
In this article, we’ll discuss:

What is a Less Secure App?
LSA is not recommended by Gmail for connecting to an external application because it leaves your account and data vulnerable to hijacking. Connecting via OAuth is the best way to go as it’s comparatively more secure.
Google automatically turns off access for less secure apps if it’s not used.
Allow Access to Less Secure Apps as a Gmail User
You can turn on the less secure app settings in just four steps:
If you can’t find the settings discussed above then:

Important Notification for G Suite Admins
Access to less secure apps will be turned off in two stages:
Stage 1: From June 15, 2020
Stage 2: From February 15, 2021
Access to less secure apps will be turned off for all G Suite users indiscriminately.
