SMTP Settings

In July 2024, 2 Step Verification was enabled on the scanner@amaravati.org account, with the IT Phone being set up as the recovery number, and Google Authenticator (also installed on the IT Smartphone) chosen as the main access method.

The reason for this is that in late 2023, Google announced that they would deprecate the "Less Secure Apps Option" in September 2024. This option had to be enabled to allow direct logins via the SMTP protocol, so we had no choice but take action.

The most convenient (and probably only) alternative was to enable 2-Step Verification and create an App Password, which is pretty much equivalent to a regular password. App Passwords enable direct SMTP login, so the SHARP Send To Email feature for scans was able to function as before. The App Password, dedicated to the SMTP login - the password to the Google Account itself wasn't changed - can be found in 1Password under Sharp SMTP (email).
