Issue

  • Basic authentication for emails is no longer available for Gmail, can we use OAuth2 connection with them?
  • Google Workspace has announced that third-party apps that use only a password to access Google Accounts will no longer be supported, what does that mean for our users?

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4
  • Liferay DXP Quarterly Releases

Resolution

  • Since Google has announced the deprecation of less secure apps, using app passwords is the recommended workaround for continuing to use basic authentication with Google accounts for a Liferay Message Board mailing list.

  • You can track the progress of OAuth2 implementation for message boards here: LPD-44066
