camera can no longer send email via Google

Post by aminco »

My setup has been working for *years*. It started failing after 1/23/23, a couple of days ago.

None of my settings have changed. I've been sending email via smtp.gmail.com with TLS on port 587.

When I click on the Test button in the SMTP settings, I just get a "Failed" message.

My camera model is Amcrest C841 with firmware V2.420.AC00.18.R

Does anyone know what happened/how I can fix this?

Probably Google, they're constantly moving the fenceposts and deciding that whatever security you used last week isn't cromulent enough for them this week. I just gave up on them and moved to outlook.com a year or two back and that's worked without needing the constant tweaking and fiddling that Google requires whenever they break things again.
