It's 2024. Can anyone use MW with Gmail?
Posted: Wed May 29, 2024 10:56 pm
I just got MW Pro 7.12.188. I know the issue of MW working with Gmail is not a new issue, and all the finger-pointing goes toward the 900-pound gorilla called Google, but is anyone out there able to use MW with their Gmail accounts?
Yes, I have 2-factor authentication with Gmail and SSL/TLS security, but creating App Passwords is not a visible option. I've looked at why Google says it may not be visible, and they do not apply in my situation.
I know that Google changes things from time to time and they will continue to do so. But it's their ball, their field, and their rules, and anyone who wants to play with them will have to adapt. That's just the way it is.
At this point, the only option I see is to Just keep deleting the Gmail sign-in errors in MW or delete all my Gmail accounts in MW.
I have poured over the Google info about this and I don't see an option for using MW with Gmail. Am I missing something?
Thanks.
