If anyone sent me an email like that, I'd cancel everything I'd done with them and make absolutely certain they had no valid card info.

You store passwords in a recoverable manner - i.e. text - and you are complaining about Gmail stopping less secure apps working?

Never store passwords in clear text - it is a major security risk. There is some information on how to do it here: Password Storage: How to do it.[^]

And remember: if you have any European Union users then GDPR applies and that means you need to handle passwords as sensitive data and store them in a safe and secure manner. Text is neither of those and the fines can be .... um ... outstanding. In December 2018 a German company received a relatively low fine of €20,000 for just that.

Good job the string that contains the plain-text credentials never gets used, and the link in the email points to the recipient's local computer rather than the actual website. 🤣

Yeah. One thing at a time, I guess ... :laugh:
