Sign-in attempt prevented about gomail HOT 5 CLOSED

I turned off the option in Gmail to allow "less secure apps" and it works now.
But I still feel a little worried about my app being "less secure". Is there any way to make it more secure?

This is probably to do with the "ssh/encrypt" stuff...tls etc...

You have to implement the XOAUTH2 authentication mechanism. It is not as difficult as it sounds.

I might have it somewhere. I will try to find it.

If its just google being paranoid then don't sweat it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't making myself wide open to hackers.

You received this email because you are using your Google Account password to send emails. Which means your password is somewhere in your code or in a configuration file.

If you don't want to use the "less secure apps" option, you can create an App password and use that password in your code. This password have restricted permissions and can be revoked anytime so it is more secure.
