Here are two relevant announcements, I think:
Turning off less secure app access to G Suite accounts
https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/12/less-secure-apps-oauth-google-username-password-incorrect.html
Less secure app turn-off suspended until further notice
https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2020/03/less-secure-app-turn-off-suspended.html
In the second of them, we read:
Last December, we announced that we’d be turning off less secure app
(LSA) access to G Suite accounts, and that you should migrate to OAuth
authentication instead. The first phase of the LSA turn-down was
scheduled for June 15, 2020. As many organizations deal with the impact
of COVID-19 and are now focused on supporting a remote workforce, we
want to minimize potential disruptions for customers unable to complete
migrations in this timeframe.
As a result, we are suspending the LSA turn-off until further
notice. All previously announced timeframes no longer apply.
So I guess this means that in the mid-term, people should seriously
consider leaving Google.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
