00:00:01.940 --> 00:00:04.690
Google, by default, restricts less secure sign‑in

00:00:04.690 --> 00:00:07.460
technology that makes your account vulnerable,

00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:11.920
which means you won't be able to send emails directly

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:13.950
from scripts used in this tool.

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:15.720
Hence,

00:00:15.730 --> 00:00:18.480
you will have to allow less secure apps to leverage

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:20.660
the Gmail service to send emails.

00:00:21.740 --> 00:00:24.630
Remember that you won't be able to configure this setting

00:00:24.630 --> 00:00:27.780
for Google accounts that have two‑step verification

00:00:27.790 --> 00:00:31.420
enabled. To allow less secure apps,

00:00:31.490 --> 00:00:33.340
you first need to navigate to

00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:41.020
myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps. As soon as this page opens,

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:45.470
I will be presented with a toggle option to turn the less secure

00:00:45.470 --> 00:00:51.500
apps setting on or off. As we can see, by default,

00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:53.350
this setting is set to Off.

00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:01.050
I will now switch it, and we can see the setting is now updated and in effect.
