Did Gmail access for alerts quit working again?
Running an Ultra 6 with 6.10.5 firmware.
I have "less secure" turned on, as well as 2 step and use your phone turned off.
I still get an error message. I updated the password so I know they are the same and still nothing.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. I think my port is incorrect. This unit has been powered down and idle since before Covid. I am not in front of it now, but I think it is set for 587, or something like that.
So far no luck. I cleared it out, and clicked on Google, and it let me set it up. I still get an error sending a test message! I turned of 2 step validation and made sure less secure is turned on.
I'm stumped. Maybe there is a port blocked or something. I am running WAP, and letting the modem handle DHCP. I did turn off Firewall on my modem.
Crazy.
