Google has introduced new privacy rules for accessing Gmail.

From now on, millions of Google users will be unable to access their Gmail data from apps and devices that don't meet modern security standards, which only require a username and password to log in.

This is part of a larger campaign Google launched a year ago to enhance security across all of its services. Over the past year, the company has actively rolled out new security technologies, including implementing access control for the Chrome browser on popular operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

The new security system will switch to using the OAuth authorization protocol, which will protect user data more effectively. This means users will no longer be able to access Gmail via protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV, IMAP, POP, and Google Sync using only their username and password.

Note that these changes primarily affect Google Workspace users. Individual Gmail account holders don't need to worry about access to their inboxes; however, they should be aware that IMAP access via email applications will only be possible through the OAuth protocol. This protocol allows third-party applications limited access to data without requiring the user's login credentials and password.

To avoid problems accessing Gmail after the new rules take effect, Google recommends users take several necessary steps. Accordingly, users of Outlook 2016 and earlier should upgrade to Microsoft 365 or newer versions of Outlook for Windows and Mac. Users of Thunderbird and other email applications also need to re-add their Google account and reconfigure it to work with IMAP via OAuth.

Ultimately, Mail app users on iOS and macOS will need to use the Google account sign-in option to enable OAuth, which will require them to delete and re-add the account.
