When I
tried to to setup Cognos 11 to send notification via Gmail, it failed because
Google blocked access from Unsecured App. Even if I tried to turn off this option
and tried again, it still failed because Google automatically turns this setting
off again. So I had to create an App Password for my Gmail account to make it
works following the steps below:
Step
1: Configure Gmail account
- Log in to my Gmail account, go to “Manage your Google Account page”, then go to “Security” section
- Enable 2-Step Verification
- Once 2-Step Verification is enabled, the App Passwords option will be visible under the 2-Step verification option
