Hi

I have got Brother Printer MFC9330CDW,,,,,I tyried to setup scan to email following :

https://help.brother-usa.com/app/an...ow-to-configure-and-use-scan-to-e-mail-server

Email that I have used for setup is : MCF9330CDWhome@gmail.com (not real email)

What I have to do under gmail setting I have to enable(on) : “less secure app access”

Everything working fine but after couple of days “less secure app access” option gets disabled (off)

What should I do to prevent Gmail disable that ? if not do we have alternative solution ?

Thx

Note
----:
Yes I know enable 2-Step verification when I want to setup email on outlook and Thunderbird or mobile but here is not the case

Get rid of gmail. This has been an ongoing issue for me. Gmail's the last google product I use, and it pisses me off every time they start their "security" games. "How about I handle my security, and you mind your own damned business?"

I only use it for legacy stuff, in case someone I haven't had contact with for awhile wants to get in touch with me. Can't wait til I'm finally free of google.
