Hi, Click on your avatar, then Google Account, then Sign-In & Security. At the bottom of the page, there's "Allow less secure apps".
You can't choose which app is a less secure app, because this option may be understood as "re-enabling Basic Authentication" which means "plain-text password authentication". By default, Gmail only allows Oauth authentication.
