Email alert Not going to work with GMAIL effective 3-31-2019
I use GMAIL for my email and the email alerts from my ReadyNAS 214. I received the following email from GMAIL:
Hello,
Although you don’t need to take any action, we wanted to let you know that the following third-party apps will no longer be able to access some data in your Google Account, including your Gmail content. This change will go into effect starting March 31, 2019.
ReadyNAS Email Notification |
We are making this change as part of ongoing efforts to make sure your data is protected and private. These apps haven’t yet complied with our updated data privacy requirements announced on October 8, 2018.
You can always view, manage and remove apps you’ve given access to your account by visiting your Google Account.
Thanks,
The Google Accounts team
When you setup email alerts, you need to put in your google email credentials. Google is now notifying my the email alert feature does not comply with gmail requirements.
Is there going to be an update to the READYNAS so it conforms?
Thanks

I don't understand the title of your post, as it seems unrelated to the text. Can you clarify?
I also use gmail for notifications, and I haven't seen any email like yours from google. What firmware is your NAS running?
