One specific account won't connect to Gmail - FIXED!

Wed Jul 07, 2021 5:00 am

I have one Gmail account which fails to connect to the server.
Another Gmail account with identical settings, apart from the address & password, has no problems connecting.
Can anyone suggest what is happening please?

POP3 - pop.gmail.com
Windows 8.1 - Mailwasher 7.12.56

FIX - It turns out that Google's 2-factor authentication was ON, but that means that the ability to allow "Less secure app access" is not only turned OFF but is also hidden! One step forward & one backwards.
