Authentication Failure With Gmail in Play-Mailer 6.0.1

[iAmcR]

Authentication fails on TLS or SSL when using smtp.gmail.com:587 (TLS) or smtp.gmail.com:465 (SSL).

To by-pass the failure, I have to enable less secure apps on the corresponding gmail account for it to work. https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

Is it that this version lacks the latest authentication mechanisms that's causing Gmail to see the authentication attempt as "less secure"?

Hi @dwijnand, do you have any updates for this issue? Any upcoming version which will have this fixed. Once we enable lesssecureapps in Gmail, we get opened for email spoofing-based attacks. It will be helpful if you can prioritize this issue.
