what exactly does that mean in google settings?
doesn't that exclude apps without 2-step verification?

Matus

Google is vague about what it means.....

"Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. "

That is frustrating because it ends up just scaring people into using Google products!!!  I don't

think it requires 2 step auth because Gmail works fine without that.  I don't know how to modify

msmtp to make Google happy but that will end up scaring a lot of users if we don't figure it out.
