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
