[SOLVED] Gmail disables “less secure app access” for an email that setup for scan to email ?

[zillah]

Hi

I have got Brother Printer MFC9330CDW,,,,,I tyried to setup "scan to email" by following :

https://help.brother-usa.com/app/an...ow-to-configure-and-use-scan-to-e-mail-server

Email that I have used for setup is : MCF9330CDWhome@gmail.com (not real email)

What I have to do under gmail setting I have to enable(on) : “less secure app access”

Everything working fine but after couple of days “less secure app access” option gets disabled (off) ?

What should I do to prevent Gmail disabling that ? if not do we have alternative solution ?

Thx

Note
----:
Yes I know enable 2-Step verification when I want to setup email on outlook and Thunderbird or mobile but here is not the case

if not do we have alternative solution ?

Turn the less-secure apps option off, generate a Google "app password" and use that for your brother printer.
