Google Shutdown “less secure app” Option for Gmail

[scottrichardmcleod_yahoo.com]

The SEND EMAIL node can no longer connect to Google. Is there any work around? See this note from Google on the email account security settings screen:

To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022, ​​Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

Hi @scottrichardmcleod_yahoo.com

I use the App Password method and am able to send emails from KNIME still How to Configure Gmail SMTP | Cloudways Help Center

Instead of using your password, you can create an Application Password for KNIME.

This method requires two step authentication right? The workflow I have running through windows scheduler so I need this to run hands free. Is that still possible using an APP Password with MFA enabled like that?

Hi Scott,

This does not require 2 step authentication. You just place the generated APP Password into the password field in the send email node.
