I am trying to write a python program that could send emails automatically (through ...@gmail.com). But I keep getting the following error message:

smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

I did some research on this and now it appears that google no longer allows third party apps to login for security reasons.

This made me wonder if there were any other methods to get this in order?
