Gmail - invalid credentials #3

Closed mdouchin closed 2 years ago

mdouchin commented 2 years ago

Hi, Thanks a lot for this tool which seems to be exactly what I need !

I cannot connect to my Gmail account, I get: 

Invalid credentials (Failure)

Does connecting to Gmail still work with login/password ? Does Gmail enforce the use of OAuth ?

mdouchin commented 2 years ago

NB: I have a ! in my password.

axllent commented 2 years ago

It should be able to connect, but not via OAuth. For a regular gmail account, I believe you now have to now set up "2-Step Verification", and then add an app password (this is how I do it on a Google Workspace account anyway).

Exactly ! The app password and 2steps auth worked like a charm. Thanks a lot !
