Hi All,
Well the subject says it all.
I followed the tutorial here
http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/85 ... ap-account
And I get an
"Error connecting to server: tsneterr: (67) Login Denied"
What am I doing wrong - I am using the Business edition although indy edition gave the same error
Do I need to login using OAthe 2.0 and then use tsnet to do the clever bits? Do I need to somehow tell Gmail that I am a trusted program and if so how - Dropbox on the Iphone comes back and asks so I assume that is OAuth.
Regards Lagi

Did you set up your GMAIL account correct?
If not it will not work.

Hope this helps.

You will also need to enable "less secure apps" for your gmail account:

Bad news for anyone doing this, Gmail and Microsoft are abandoning support for less secure apps. Without OAuth support mail will not be retrievable I fear. I get this same error with office.com. I administer the mail domain, but I can no longer find a place to enter an app password. This is why I have preached for years, cloud based computing is not going to be advantageous for the clients, only for the software corporations.

Welcome back to this seven-year-old-thread.
Yes, OAuth is among the leading standards for allowing users to grant access to third-party app devs.
LC supports OAuth.
I share much of the sentiment in your last sentence, but improving security for end-users isn't on my own list of complaints.
