How to Generate a App Password from Gmail Account

To authorize your less secure applications in Gmail and G Suite, the user needs to follow a few steps as both Gmail and G Suite administer certain policies to safeguard your data. Due to the strict security policies, certain users are unable to use a few applications in Gmail and G Suite as their devices are not compatible.

Google blocks some devices and apps and a user might encounter a failure in sign-in attempts as they do not match the security standards. Google blocks them as anyone can break into the device or apps as it is easier to do it and that's why Google blocks it to safeguard the data.
