Google is disabling access to less secure apps (LSAs) for G Suite accounts to enhance security.
Google is phasing out support for less secure apps (LSAs), which are non-Google apps that access account data using only a username and password. Starting June 15, 2020, new connections to LSAs will be blocked. By February 15, 2021, all LSA access will be disabled for all G Suite accounts. Users and admins are advised to migrate to apps that support OAuth, a more secure authentication method, to maintain access to email, calendar, and contacts.
