From May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. As a result, the option Less secure apps doesn’t exist anymore, and the configuration procedure was completely changed.

    Introduction

    Email notifications can be set up in two ways:

    1) per backup task (Windows only)

    and/or

    2) universally for all existing and future backup tasks (Windows, Mac)

    Per-backup notifications are more configurable, but are more complicated to set up.

    Global notifications are easy to enable, but are less informative.

    You start Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office (formerly Acronis True Image) and provide credentials to your Acronis account.
