Hi, I've recently changed my password on Gmail and when entering my new password into Thunderbird I receive a message to go to: https://support.google.com/mail/accounts/answer/78754 (failure) . When looking into this, I established that for Thunderbird to work I need to tick “Allow” to let less secure apps access my Google account. Obviously for safety reasons this is not a recommended option. Is there anything I can do for Thunderbird to work without worrying that my gmail account can get hacked into?

Many thanks,

Dasha

Two issues here. 1. Less secure is entirety subjective. Google call is less secure. Everyone else on the planet involved with email call it standard. THey are in fact forcing a web authentication standard oAuth2.0. So now mail clients not designed as web browsers are forced to do so. A far more risky arrangment then a standard username and password arrangement.

2. Thunderbird 38 supports oAuth2.0 for Gmail IMAP mail accounts. Be it for better or worse.

Your choice really. I do not use oAuth2.0.
