Gmail using Oauth March 14, 2025 notice

[brian70809]

I know that gmail is listed in docs as let's look elsewhere..

I use gmail to do my email system with my domain and it's the best I've had to block spam, etc... I'd like to keep it.

They are going to Oauth secrets now.. Is this going to be supported?

Thanks!

Well.. I did some reading, digging, and looking at how people with legacy devices.. there is a workaround.

You go into Security settings for your gmail controlled account. i.e. [email protected]

Turn on 2-Step Security..

Go down to Apps and add a custom app..

Name it whatever... adminxxx.com

Let it create a 16 character password.

now that is your new password instead of a custom generated one...

works again.

These steps (with more detail) have been added to the documentation for Gmail setup. Thanks @brian70809.
