App Password not available for my gmail account. How should I authenticate? #250

This related to the sunsetting of the less-secure-app-access. Seems there could be some improvements to authentication documentation, these issues keep popping up... I am using an sundry or admin account to send emails, per instructions for authenticating for using app passwords, the app passwords are not available for this account. What is the work around? I don't think 2FA is available for this admin account. Screenshot 2022-08-29 173754

Please do get involved and fix docs. I'm currently at an all time low of sending emails, and app password is working fine for me

I'd really double check 2fa as it's really a requirement for app password I believe

Otherwise maybe you can try oauth2

Here Gmail says it stopped less secure apps feature, which infact Yagmail uses for Gmail https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en&utm_source=google-account&utm_medium=profile-less-secure-apps-card

Hi, I've the same problem: My old account of gmail still works to send mails. But I want to create a new account that should work too. I tried a yahoo-account, but get typical error message: {{{ $ python3 program.py
