Title: Google was going to turn off access for LSA apps soon, and this includes IMAP for Gmail. However, with the pandemic they delayed this indefinitely.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;03&#x2F;less-secure-app-turn-off-suspended.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com&#x2F;2020&#x2F;03&#x2F;less-secure-app...</a><p>Since May 1st, using IMAP to access a G Suite account stopped working, though, with a message:<p>&gt; IMAP command &#x27;AUTHENTICATE PLAIN &lt;authdata&gt;&#x27; returned an error: NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)<p>I know the credentials are good because they work in the browser. Maybe an automated process somewhere kicked in?
