Access less secure Gmail apps

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

We've never had issues with smtp2go spam issues. but have mine configured correctly. knowing how many IP-address they have I'm surprised you've had issues.

I have never had a problem with SMTP2go because I have never had to use it. Others here on CTN have reported the problem in the past. I have always been able to get Gmail to work. The only exception has been with customers that had AT&T Uverse as their ISP and using the Motorola NVG510 modem. The Modem block all SMTP requests from devices that were not computers to SMTP servers that were not used by AT&T.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

The problem with SMPT2go is that too many spammers use it. When other email providers get more than a set number of spam reports coming from a single SMTP source, they block all emails from that source. It can take 2 to 32 weeks for that block to be removed.

Charging a scanning fee to customers? You must enjoy losing customers.

Charging for a service is what we do, the big company's are already billing a monthly scanning fee for wear to feed rollers and we all noticed that click rates are dropping volumes declining. customers would be paying for a email account for the machine anyway. this way they just pay for a product that works that you control and know how it works.

I'm not loosing customers, and if I was did I want them?

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

I recommend that you start using a service like SMTP2go I'd also then recommend changing the customer a scanning fee of $ 5 a month.

The big companies are all trying to come up with a way to charge for scans.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

The only change I can see in Google's support article for setting up MFPs and other scan to email devices is that SMTP relay service is only available for G Suite editions. If your customer does not have G-Suite they no longer can use the relay service. The other option is to setup a local relay using Stunnel or a similar software.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

Interesting reading. Thanks.

Agreed and I never thought of using this option for MFP's. I had to do this very thing a few weeks ago when my IP camera at home quit sending me motion detect notifications through my Gmail.

You will have to use App Password for each device (un-secure client) instead of letting less secure apps to connect to Google services by default.
Generate App password and use it on your MFD. SMTP authentication wil be yourgmailaccount@gmail.com/gene rated pass word.


I've done it for my Outlook but same goes for MFD's.

Then add custom App:

Use that app password on MFD:

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

This will be a big problem
I usually always set "Allow less secure apps" to make sure it works. But in the latest printers how will we proceed? It seems to me that even on new printers you have to activate "allow less secure apps". Any ideas on configuration without turning off that option?

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

Disabling, but not for all users. In future, this feature will be removed in general.


Google state:
Google will automatically turn off the Less secure apps setting on individual accounts for users who stop using it. Users can turn it back on until the setting is removed.
The Less secure apps setting will be removed from the Admin console in Feb 2021. If you haven’t already transitioned to more secure apps, do so by this date.

Seems like it's one of those Updates that looks good on paper until they start getting tons of complaints

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

Hi, Google recently seems to have removed the "Less secure app access" option.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

It's still there on both on my Gmail accounts

Same here.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

UPDATE! The option appears to be back in stock and customers are now able to crawl again.
However, it's a nice problem. I don't know if it was for a Google maintenance or a possible test to remove this availability.

Re: Access less secure Gmail apps

I am concerned that the call also comes for recently installed printers. Maybe with the firmware update I could solve but it would also take an alternative plan.
