    Default smtpauth problem from gmail

    Hi Gang,

    I got hacked over the weekend and I changed all my passwords.
    After changing my gmail password, I entered the new one in Zencart in the email settings.

    Now gmail says this:

    "Google just blocked someone from signing into your Google Account xxxxxxx###################### from an app that may put your account at risk.
    Less secure app
    Tuesday, January 16, 2018 10:34 AM (ET)"


    I switched Google to accept less secure apps and now the emails work again, but I want to know if there is something else I need to do in Zencart so I can enable higher security again.

    Zencart 1.55a
    macOS

    Nothing more to do. That's the correct step for now.
