I just hope that Gmail itself (as client) becomes something other than a Less Secure App. Right now I have to keep that LSA switch going so that my main Gmail account can SMTP send mail with credentials from my other many Gmail accounts. I've never understood why Gmail itself is a LSA in the eyes of other Gmail accounts.
