From this article https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255

If the user chooses to Disable "Access for less secure apps", it will raise a "wrong password" error in Mail Notifr.

A temporary solution is updating document to ask user to choose "enable"

A work-around for users for this issue would be to add an "app-specific password" for notifr. See: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

Isn't that for two steps authentication only?

@austinv11 As @harianus asked, this workaround is for two steps auth.
