    Hi Dennis,

    First, thank you for creating such an amazing plugin.
    I configured the plugin as instructed, for a gmail account, and when trying to send an email with it, my gmail accounts warns me with the following email:

    Hi XXXX,
    Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account [email protected] from an app that doesn’t meet modern security standards.

    We strongly recommend that you use a secure app, like Gmail, to access your account. All apps made by Google meet these security standards. Using a less secure app, on the other hand, could leave your account vulnerable. Learn more.

    Any workaround this ?
    Thank you,
    Vince

    Hi Vince,

    Goole wants apps to connect via OAuth2 instead of the traditional password-based authentication. SMPT Mailing Queue does not (yet) support this authentication method. I use gmail myself and don’t get the less secure warning; not sure what triggers it for you.

    Until the plugin supports OAuth authentication you could allow the usage of password authentications like described here or here for google apps.

    Thanks,
    Dennis

    Great, that solved my problem !

    FYI I also created a new email address on yahoo and encountered the exact same problem. I guess on newly created email addresses, gmail and yahoo try to push people to use OAuth…

    Thanks,
    Vince
