Manage access to less secure apps

You can allow users to turn on or off access to less secure apps or disable their ability to allow less secure apps.

  1. Sign in to your Google Admin console.

    Sign in using an administrator account, not your current account.

  2. From the Admin console Home page, go to Security → Less secure apps

  3. To apply the setting to everyone, leave the top organizational unit selected. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit or a configuration group.

  4. Select the setting for less secure apps:

    • Disable access to less secure apps  (Recommended)
      Users can’t turn on access to less secure apps.
      When you disable access to less secure apps while a less secure app has an open connection with a user account, the app will time out when it tries to refresh the connection. Timeout periods vary per app.

    • Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps
      Users can turn on or turn off access to less secure apps.

  5. Click Save.

 

Then you can do the main “allow less secure apps” step for any accounts you want to send emails from.
