in reply to Re: Sending emails -- gmail Less Secure App Access May 2022
in thread Sending emails
Thanks so much for the help. Setting up an App Password worked. For others who might need it the process was as follows:
I set up two step verification in the sending gmail account. With Less Secure App Access turned off I tried sending an email and got the following error message.
Can't locate object method "send" via package "5.7.9 Application-specific password required. Learn more at " (perhaps you forgot to load "5.7.9 Application-specific password required. Learn more ate552d27sm669322pjt.11 - gsmtp "?) at sndmlonefbctest.pl line 63, <STDIN> line 1.econdFactor i2-20020a17090ac40200b001bd0e552d27sm669322pjt.11 - gsmtp
I then went to security settings on the gmail account and selected Set up an App Password. One the next screen I selected Mail in the app dropdown and Windows Computer in the device dropdown. When I clicked the generate button it came back with a 16 character App Password with instructions to replace the Password used by my mail program with the App Password. I did that and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again for the help.
