From now on, millions of Google users will no longer be able to access Gmail data from apps and devices that don't meet modern security standards, meaning they only use a username and password to log in.
This is part of a larger campaign that Google launched a year ago to improve security across all of its services. In recent years, the company has been aggressively rolling out new security technologies, including implementing access keys for the Chrome browser on popular operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux and Android.
The new security system will switch to using the OAuth authorization protocol to better protect user data. This means users will no longer be able to access Gmail via protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV, IMAP, POP, and Google Sync with just a username and password.
Note that these changes primarily affect Google Workspace users. Personal Gmail account holders don’t need to worry about access to their mailboxes, but they should know that IMAP access via email clients will only be done via OAuth, which allows third-party applications to have limited access to data without needing the user’s login and password.
To avoid problems accessing Gmail after the new rules go into effect, Google recommends that users take a few necessary steps. Accordingly, users of Outlook 2016 and earlier should upgrade to Microsoft 365 or newer versions of Outlook for Windows and Mac. Users of Thunderbird and other email clients will also need to re-add their Google accounts and reconfigure them to work with IMAP via OAuth.
Finally, Mail app users on iOS and macOS will need to use the Google account sign-in option to enable OAuth, which will require them to remove and re-add the account.
