Description

Google is shutting down access to e-mail services with traditional username/password authentication for security reasons. Gmail users can keep using the services provided they create an App Password for Gmail. See https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en for details, but at a minimum it requires the account to have 2FA enabled.

Add the note on https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-notifications.html in the e-mail password field.
