Gmail prevented login with `modern security standards` message

[rkpatel33]

I attempted logging in from my terminal/Ipython and got this message:

Sign-in attempt prevented ... Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account [email protected] from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards.

Seem like I probably need to update a package used for authenticating, but not sure what exactly. Any suggestions?

You can turn it on from here - https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

I didn't have any issue authenticating with a new account. Seems to work fine.
