then i found this on googles own help site: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Less secure apps & your Google Account To help keep your account secure, 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.
