How to check one GSuite account from another

Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices that do not use modern security standards. Since these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps keep your account safe.

1. Sign in to Gmail
2. Click here to access Less Secure App Access in My Account.
3. Next to “Allow less secure apps: OFF,” select the toggle switch to turn ON.

This setting may not be available for:

• Accounts with 2-Step Verification enabled: Such accounts require an application-specific password for less secure apps access.
• G Suite users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.

Once you’ve set Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps to on, affected users within the selected group or Organizational Unit will be able to toggle access for less secure apps on or off themselves.
