How to Configure Gmail on Moodle ApplicationNo Content!

When we configured Gmail for Moodle before, there was a feature called 'less secure app access.' We simply disabled this feature and were able to configure and send emails in Moodle. In September of this year, Google discontinued this feature, so we can no longer configure it as we did before.
