    Issues with Gmail 3rd Party Apps

    in Express Invoice

    I had the same issue and fixed it. I am still using gmail. You need to create an app specific password. Google will allow you to a device name. I named mine Invoice Express, it then generates a specific password for you to use when you setup smtp email settings. You will use the email address you have and the new password that google generated. Hope this helps everyone.

     

    Since Google has stopped support for using "less secure apps access", it is no longer possible to use the 'regular' account password to connect to Gmail.

    Moving forward, you will have to do these following steps:

    1. Turn on 2-step verification: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839
    2. Create and use App Password: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833

    I set this up and it works.  Thank you for your help.

    My father in-law uses your app Express Invoice Plus.. Recently I saw a warning from gmail that said the following below.

    To help keep your account secure, starting May 30, 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

    Is there a fix for this?
    My Father in-law loves programs and still wants to use Express Invoice Plus. But still wants to send an invoice by email that he has created using Express Invoice Plus. We enjoy the program and want to continue to do so.
