Gmail requires OAuth now by default, rather than username/password authentication.
If you want to allow username/password authentication, you used to need to enable the Less Secure Apps option. I've written about this before <https://blogs.msmvps.com/jcoehoorn/blog/2017/05/04/what-are-less-secure-apps-in-google/>. However, Google also began phasing out Less Secure Apps completely about two weeks ago <https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en>. (*We should probably be prepared on this mailing list to get more questions from people who suddenly have their email stop working based on this change*). The change has not yet come to Google Workspace (Organizational accounts), and I don't recall seeing a specific date yet, but I do know Google is committed to follow through with bringing this change to everyone. What you will likely need to do instead is set-up a Per-App password <https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833> for Koha.
