Hi guys, Many of you may receive an email from Google that you may lose access to Apps that are using less secure sign-in technology on May 30. "To help keep your account secure, starting May 30, 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and p[censored]word."Some users may be confused. “Does it mean that I can no longer receive the email alerts using the Gmail from the Reolink devices? Should I change to another email?” Don’t worry. You can still use Gmail to receive alerts from the Reolink devices. But you need to use the APP p[censored]word generated by Gmail. Here is the how-to guide. 1. Enable two-step verification in GmailThe APP p[censored]word will only be available for the account that enables the two-step verification. You can follow the guide in the Google support center to enable it, https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en. 2. Generate the App p[censored]word for Reolink APPYou can have the step-by-step guide in this article, https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039461654-How-to-Generate-an-APP-P[censored]word-in-Gmail-Email-Account. 3. Copy the APP p[censored]word and input it as the email p[censored]word in Reolink APP/Client. Using app p[censored]words is a more secure way, no matter for your mailbox or Reolink device. After you successfully change your email p[censored]word to the app p[censored]word, you can still receive email alerts from your Reolink device normally. (If you find the email error in the Reolink APP, you can use the APP p[censored]word to try.) Please let me know if you have any questions.
I have tried two-factor verification and setting up App p[censored]word, but receive error message. "Incorrect email p[censored]word or SMTP not enabled. Please troubleshoot as follows: Step 1: Make sure SMTP server is enabled for you email. For details of how to enable, it please contact the email provider. Step 2: Make sure that you enter the correct email address and p[censored]word. Some email can only be accessed by entering an app p[censored]word. Please set the app p[censored]word and try again."
I used this method to fix a gmail account I exclusively use for my Reolink NVR. I didn't have two factor turned on, then google changed things. This article gave me the information needed to fix the email issue.
