 * Hi there,
    I never had this before using your awesome plugin. Not I got this:
 * > Some apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which makes your 
   > account more vulnerable. You can turn off access for these apps, which we recommend,
   > or turn on access if you want to use them despite the risks.
 * Google Suite.
 * I think this important, even though you, after reading your comment actually 
   a couple of years ago, said this is not important.
 * Thanks.

 * Gmail is an idiot, you can ignore this and go on with your life. Apparently Thunderbird
   is also very unsecure so yeah… It’s Google BS for:
 * “Come to our website and enjoy 4GB of ads and recommendations as you load the
   page on our securerer-than-everyone-elses SSL and securererest servers. Yawn.

 * If you use 2FA with GSuite or Gmail you can create an “app password” for the 
   plugin. That should be more secure. You can also put the password in your `wp-
   config.php` file for maximum security.
