View source for Troubleshooting: There is no “Allow less secure apps” in google account when want to use Gmail to send batch mail in AutoCount

'''Question:''' There is no “Allow less secure apps” in google account when want to use Gmail to send batch mail in AutoCount. Why?

'''Version:''' 1.8 / 1.9 / 2.0


<u><b>Possible Reason :</b></u>

From May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.


<u><b>Solution :</b></u>

Generate an application password to be used in AutoCount. App Passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on.

To generate application password, please go to your google account.
