Attempt #2...this time as text-only....allegedly....
got this notice from google today:
Less secure apps & your Google Account
To help keep your account secure, starting*May 30, 2022*, Google will
no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you
to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.
Please note this deadline does not apply to Google Workspace or Google
Cloud Identity customers. The enforcement date for these customers will
be announced on the Workspace blog at a later date.
For more information, please continue reading.
*Special Note on Apple Device Sign-Ins.*Users who have not recently
signed into their Google Account using only username and password will
be able to only make new sign in attempts using the Google account type
starting from*February 28, 2022*. Existing users may continue to sign
into their Google Account using their username and password until*May
30, 2022*.
If an app or site doesn’t meet oursecurity standards

Google might block anyone who’s trying to sign in to your account from
it. Less secure apps can make it easier for hackers to get in to your
account, so blocking sign-ins from these apps helps keep your account safe.
...so I'm guessing my legacy apps out there at clients will no longer be
able to use the internal error reporting (that sends an email to me from
my gmail account).
FYI for those of you who use gmail in our apps for this kind of emailing
purpose.
