This is not related to Koha, and cannot be fixed in Koha, but needs to be fixed on your SMTP connection (in postfix) I did a blog post (in a different context) on how to set up a google "app password": To get such an app password, you first have to secure your account with Two Factor Authentication (2FA) (if you haven't already done that): Go to https://myaccount.google.com Find "2-Step Verification" under the Security headline Go through the process. I use the "Google Authenticator" app on my mobile phone After you've set this up, you'll find the new option "App passwords" under "Security" / "Signing into Google" Select an app ("Mail") and give it a custom name (eg "offlineimap"), click on "generate" and copy the password (you'll never see it again!) The full blog post is here: https://domm.plix.at/perl/2022_05_use_multiple_gmail_accounts_via_mutt_and_offlineimap.html Then you will need to figure out how make postfix use that new password. A little bit of googling found this: https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/configure-postfix-to-send-mail-using-gmail-and-google-workspace-on-debian-or-ubuntu/ Which also goes through the process of setting up an app password.
