My usual POP access to my G-Mail was blocked this AM, with a message
referring me to the following explanation:
If an app or device doesn’t meet our security standards, Google will block
anyone who tries to sign in from that app or device. Because these apps and
devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.
Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security standards include:
The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with version 6 or below
The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird
What exactly is Google considering insecure about Mozilla-based mail
clients?
To restore access I had to change a G-Mail setting to allow access by
insecure apps.

I'm getting the same nonsense from them, but
I have more than 5 computers accessing the same account plus 2 phones. one is
an android 6.0.1.
I used to think Google was one of the good guys.
Now, I'm not so sure.
Google "ceased" being one of the good guys (if they ever were) when they
quietly dropped the motto "do no evil".
IMHO of course.
