Hello,

I configured XF to use Gmail to send emails. I received this notice from Google today and was wondering whether this would break the current integration between XF2 and Gmail ?

Starting February 15, 2021, G Suite accounts will only allow access to apps using OAuth. Password-based access will no longer be supported.

There is a discussion that started today about this,

Less Secure Apps being killed off by Google in February - Help?

What's next if Google is killing off Less Secure Apps. My emails are routed through gmail, do I have to use a different SMTP or is there a better way around this?
