Hence, the following information should be of concern to all of us.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Under date of December 16, 2019, Google has released a blog post with the subject " G Suite Update: Turning off less secure app access to G Suite accounts." Broadly speaking, this blog post announces changes which will have an impact on users of email clients such as Outlook or iOS Mail who, historically, may have had to turn on "Allow Less Secure Apps" to connect Gmail accounts to these email clients.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>First, here is the link to the blog post.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/">https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>There is a lot of detail in this post, but here are some of the more significant excerpts:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in'>• Starting in June 2020, we’ll limit the ability for less secure apps (LSAs) to access G Suite account data. LSAs are non-Google apps that can access your Google account with only a username and password.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in'>• After June 15, 2020 - Users who try to connect to an LSA for the first time will no longer be able to do so. This includes third-party apps that allow password-only access to Google calendars, contacts, and email via protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV, IMAP, and Exchange ActiveSync (Google Sync). Users who have connected to LSAs prior to this date will be able to continue using them until usage of all LSAs is turned off.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in'>• After February 15, 2021 - Access to LSAs will be turned off for all G Suite accounts.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in'>• …when LSA access is discontinued after February 15, 2021, you will begin receiving an error message that your username-password combination is incorrect.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in'>• If you are using stand-alone Outlook 2016 or earlier, you can use G Suite Sync for Microsoft Outlook. Alternatively, move to Office 365 (a web-based version of Outlook) or Outlook 2019, both of which support <a href="https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2">OAuth</a> access.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in'>• If you are using Thunderbird or another email client, re-add your Google Account and configure it to use IMAP with OAuth.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.5in'>• If you are using the mail app on iOS or MacOS, or Outlook for Mac, and use only a password to login, you’ll need to remove and re-add your account. When you add it back, make sure to choose Google as the account type to automatically use OAuth.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is all the information I have at this point.
