'Nodemailer and Gmail after May 30 2022
Sending an email using NodeMailer & Gmail
Google has reported that after May 30 third party apps cannot use username and password for signing in. Does this affect nodemailer. We usually allow less secure APP in the gsuit gmail setting before using it in nodemailer.
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: '[email protected]',
pass: 'yourpassword'
}
});

I've been digging all over for this. Their docs are pretty woeful about the change. Found this, not definitive...I'm in the "set up app password let's see if it still works" camp.
Note the reply "Second, yes, the best information we have is that App Passwords will continue to work."
