IIRC, the only tricky thing you need is to get an APP password for the
account you're using.
This article shows how to do it using pure Python:

I'm guessing the same would work for Flask-Mail by setting
MAIL_SERVER to smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT to 465
MAIL_USE_TLS to True
MAIL_USERNAME to your gmail address
MAIL_PASSWORD to your app password

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [IBMiOSS] Send mail via a google account from python
Date: Mon, May 18, 2020 4:18 PM
So, what is the magic elixir needed to get a valid google account to
accept
an email from Python (with flask-mail) and send it out?
Lots of 2 year old discussions on the internet, but I've not seen
anything
recent enough (over two years old) to pay attention to.
