Can't connect Gmail account

[JamboSX]

Trying to import HH from my Gmail, when I go to set it up in PT4 I get an error message "Invalid username or password".
Then I get an email from Google saying a sign-in attempt was prevented: "Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account [email protected] from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards."

I checked the SSL box, my account is setup for POP3 and I'm using the same IP I normally use.

This is the first time I've heard of that message - please restart PT4 using the logging enabled link on your Start Menu, reproduce this problem and then report it via our support system with the log file - that will help us figure out what is going on here and get it fixed for you. You can find that file by clicking File --> Show User Data Folder in the main PT4 window - the file we need is the text file called PokerTracker4 that is in that folder.

I figured it out, had to change a setting to allow less secure apps. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255
Will PT4 be upgrading the security standards though?

As I said this is the first I've heard about these changes and the link you posted doesn't say what sorts of things they are now blocking that they weren't before so more research is going to be necessary for us here.

Did some searching and it appears that you would need to implement OAuth2.0

Thanks, I'll make sure that gets passed along to the appropriate people.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but this doesn't seem to have happened, or there is another restriction imposed by Google mail.

This has not been implemented yet so if you want to be automatically notified if OAuth 2.0 protocol is added to PokerTracker 4 in a future update then you can let us know in a Support Ticket.

I'm facing this issue. can someone help me in resolving it

At this time OAuth 2.0 protocol has not been implemented so you will either need to configure your Gmail account accordingly. If you do not want to change your Gmail settings then you can import these hands in another way e.g. via an alternative email, downloading hands directly and/or transferring the contents of the email to a plain text document.
