secured apps access

Hi Valentina,

I've not tried this myself, so I cannot be sure it is a solution here, but have 
you tried generating a Google App Password [1] for the Gmail account to use in 
NiFi in place of the user password?

I'm not sure if it is a drop-in replacement or not, but worth trying to see if 
it works with NiFi IMAP/SMTP processors as-is. If not, we should probably 
capture this as an Apache NiFi Jira if it has not been already, as this is 
essentially a feature request to add that capability as an option/alternative 
form of authentication for IMAP/SMTP processors.

Hope this helps,

Hello!

I am using ConsumeIMAP processor to access a gmail mailbox. In order to 
authenticate with user and password I had to turn on the 'Allow less secure 
apps access' setting in Gmail.
However, since May 30th, this setting is no longer available which leads to 
Invalid credentials error in ConsumeIMAP.

What would be a solution to this issue? How to retrieve emails from a Gmail 
mailbox from Nifi?

Many thanks & have a great week ahead,
Valentina
