Emails - Gmail Authentication Issues

We have a server in Michigan and one in Arizona that might be trying to log in to your email account. Google's security will sometimes decide it looks suspicious.

A couple things you can try when this happens. It may take more than one of these steps to fix it:

If not using two-factor authentication

1. Go here and set it to ON: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

2. Go here and follow the instructions: https://g.co/allowaccess

(the above steps were taken from this page: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6009563)
