Google Enforces New Security Measures for Gmail Access

Starting September 30, Gmail users must switch to more secure login methods as legacy app support ends.

  • Google will discontinue support for less secure apps and Google Sync for Gmail accounts.
  • Users must adopt OAuth or other secure access methods to avoid login errors.
  • The move aims to reduce the risk of unauthorized account access and improve overall security.
  • Affected users include those using older versions of Outlook, Apple Mail, and other third-party email clients.
  • Personal Gmail accounts will have IMAP access enabled over OAuth by default.
