I am trying to adapt to Google's change in smtp policy on 5.30.22 that prevents 3P apps to have access to gmail account. I want to give my web project hosted on heroku access to be able to login programatically to my gmail account. I checked out some posts including this one, but I'm just not seeing what is expected in my settings.
In that gmail account, I go to Security -> Less secure app access and confirmed it is, in fact, no longer available. I saw nothing else in Security that seemed relevant.
Then, I try Data & Privacy -> Data from apps and services you use -> Apps & Services -> Third-Party Apps With Account Access. Clicking on that takes me to Apps with access to your account, where I see You haven’t given any apps or services permission to access your Google Account. Learn more (<-- link to https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3466521?hl=en). That link brings me to Manage your account permissions -> Manage third-party apps & services with access to your account.
I then go to Review what a third party can access. Steps for that are:
...but in step #2, there is no Third-party apps with account access or Manage third-party access link/section in my security page.
How do I add an app I'm working on to that list?
UPDATE - I saw https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/112802?hl=en&ref_topic=7188760, which is "Use your Google Account to sign in to other apps or services". Is this what I need? It says to:
Due to the removal of Less secure apps & your Google Account you can not use a users login and password to access googles smtp server.
You have two sevral options.
