Hi SLK-Purdue,
Thanks for the ping StephenB!
I tried testing this out and it seems to be working on my end.
I also had "less secure apps" option disabled and the test message was sent to my email.
And just to confirm, after signing in with your Google account, is the screenshot provided below the same as yours?

Looks like an auth issue but I have confirmed my auth is valid.

Hi SLK-Purdue,
It does look like an auth issue and I assume the most recent attempt was when you manually set it up, right?
In this case, would it be possible if you could try signing in Google using an incognito browser and if possible, removing all of the alert contacts as well?

I did a "logout", "clear" and manually entered the gmail information. That now seems to be working. Not sure what that means but will monitor it for a few days.
Thanks,
Scott
