Gmail Mac App Connection Insecure App
Up until today I have not had any problems accessing my Gmail account with Thunderbird. This morning however access was denied and I was prompted to provide a new password. i tried this but each time a message came back that it was unacceptable. In the end the only solution I found was to go in to my Google account and turn off secure apps or more precisely swich to allow unsecure apps. As soon as I did this I can access my gmail account again OK but it does beg the question why does Google NOW consider the Thunderbird application to be insecure.I am running version 52.5.2 (32 bit) which shows as being up todate.I am confuse why I have the 32 bit version as my windows 7 is 64 bit?I am concerned about continuing with secure apps switched off.Is there an alternative solution which would provide access with secure apps on?
