As part of its commitment to user safety, Google Workspace has announced the deprecation of the Less Secure Apps (LSAs) sign-in method for third-party apps or devices that rely on shared Google username and password. This change is crucial for enterprises using ERPNext/Frappe with IMAP/SMTP/POP functionality as it will require transitioning to the OAuth authentication method.
Key Points of the Announcement
Timeline for Changes
June 15, 2024
The LSA settings will be removed from the Google Admin console and can no longer be changed.
Enabled users can still connect, but disabled users will lose access.
New users will not be able to connect.
September 30, 2024
Access to LSAs will be completely turned off for all Google Workspace accounts.
CalDAV, CardDAV, IMAP, POP, and Google Sync will no longer work with password-based sign-ins, necessitating OAuth.
Impact on ERPNext/Frappe Users
Frappe currently supports IMAP and SMTP configurations for email accounts using password-based authentication.
These email functionalities will stop working for newly created Google Workspace users after July 15, 2024, and will cease entirely after September 30, 2024.
Consequences for Enterprises
Enterprises using ERPNext integrated with their business pipeline for sending and receiving emails will face significant disruptions.
Without transitioning to OAuth, businesses may experience a substantial slowdown in operations.
To prevent disruptions
Developers must update the Frappe framework to support OAuth for IMAP and SMTP functionalities and ensure these updates are integrated into ERPNext.
All ERPNext/Frappe-integrated enterprises must transition their email account configurations to use OAuth for IMAP/SMTP connections.
