Google just blocked someone from signing into your Google Account from an app that may put your account at risk.

@SagareGanesh As per this now gmail requires "'modern' higher-security OAuth2 authentication during sign-in". And you are logging in using your email and password (i.e third party login) so probably you are getting this. For more details read this.

@Shwetakale yes, you are right. All Google accounts now require modern higher-security OAuth2 authentication during sign-in. Conclusion is, use XOAuth authentication for login instead of Direct username password, its more secure. thanks.
