Google may block sign-in attempts from third party applications 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. As per Google’s advanced enhanced IT security policies it considers such applications as less secure applications and results in restricting email account access by such applications. This might cause failure while sending emails from such applications because application cannot access the from email accounts.
