Thanks for the idea that there is a way around gmail two-factor authentication. I only
use Gmail for things like boarding passes now because I couldn't log in with mutt.
IMHO the whole two-factor identification thing has gotten way out of conttrol. Especially
if you mostly use a desktop system. I now have an old phone and a $9/month cellphone plan
just to accomodate it. That phone never goes anywhere except my office.

Hi Folks,
I want to use gmail to send myself backup logs, since my mail server is not available
during backup. I continue to get a credential error, but the credentials I am using are
correct. I suspect that this is the result of "two-factor" authentication, which
I am not using on gmail, but which has caused the "allow less secure access" to
be disabled. I could use my ISP and configure an "Upstream SMTP-Smart Host", but
then I have a detail to remember and reconfigure should I ever change my ISP.
Is anybody doing this successfully, without submitting to "Google Workspaces"
or "Microsoft Office 365"?
Thanks for the help,
