kizer Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Can anybody simply post up their settings for Gmail? I've tried several times and honestly i can't get it to work either. I did see this in my email today thou. Hi kizer, Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards. Details: Wednesday, December 16, 2015 7:40 AM (Pacific Standard Time) Washington, USA* We strongly recommend that you use a secure app, like Gmail, to access your account. All apps made by Google meet these security standards. Using a less secure app, on the other hand, could leave your account vulnerable. Learn more. Google stopped this sign-in attempt, but you should review your recently used devices: However I can't see in my account anywhere to authorize unRAID. Link to comment
kizer Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Found the culprit. I had to change a setting allowing less secure access to my account. While logged into your Gmail account use this link. https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps I'm going to personally setup a unRAID email account that forwards to my primary account and use it for notifications.

kizer Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @CHBMB, Yes I was agreeing with what you said. lol Some how I just messed it until I re-read what you said a few times. Just from what that article said it didn't tell you how to lower security, which was a hint, but annoying because I had to search around for the link. However none the less I'm good to go just hope the OP comes back and sees all this. Link to comment
