#8465: Security breach and outgoing SMTP server

     Type:  defect       |  Milestone:  Unassigned
 Priority:  unassigned   |    Version:  6.2.0
Component:  vtigercrm    |   Keywords:  Security breach outgoing smtp
 Severity:  Medium       |  server
-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When configuring the outgoing SMTP server using a gmail account, often it
 works for some time, but after some connections with various devices on
 the related email account, I receive an email from Google in my mailbox
 for informing me that a connection has been blocked from a computer.
 Systematically after this email, GMail prevents the CRM server to use the
 SMTP server configured, as long as I do not change the settings of my
 email account.
 I have to "enable access for the least secure applications" on purpose to
 get a CRM able to send mails.
 From that, two questions ;
 1 ) Why is VTiger considered by Google / Gmail as an application using a
 method of insufficiently secure / non-modern connection ?

 2) Is it really safe that the password of the gmail account related to the
 outgoing smtp server is clearly written in the database, without any sort
 encryption ?
