Re: Google Dropping "Less Secure Apps" for GMail May 30th 2022

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I wouldn't call it "locking out" per say.  It's just increased security
(ie, protecting us from ourselves).

I've been using GMail for bvstools.com email for many years now.  I also
have an Office365 account (as do many of my customers).  Guess which one is
never down, and guess which one has issues.... :)  Google has been rock
solid for me.  O365 on the other hand... eh... it could be better.
