Hi,
I have added one Gmail account and enable pop3 from Settings
Your E-Mail: mailid@gmail.com
Pop3-Server: pop.gmail.com  Port: 995 Use SSL: Yes
Login: the same emailID as mentioned above Password: Gmail account password

I am able to login with the same emailID and password on G-mail but when I am testing it on GSA Search Engine Ranker it is showing "-ERR[AUTH] Username and password..."

Gmail is number verified - 2factor authentication is also removed still I am facing this issue.

Please help. @Sven

    Hello

    I believe you can not use Gmail accounts after they removed the less secure apps configuration. You'd better use catchall emails and other available webmails.

    @Sven Topic change, please. It's not related to SERLib.

    for gmail you need to use the app password, for other accounts the pop3/imap settings they offer.

    I had a similar issue with my Gmail account when trying to set it up with a third-party app. Make sure you’ve enabled "Allow less secure apps" in your Google account settings. Sometimes, even with 2FA turned off, Gmail can still block connections from apps it doesn’t recognize.

    Another thing that helped me was using an email leak checker from Strong Password Generator. It’s a quick way to check if your account has been compromised, which can also lead to login issues.

    After adjusting those settings, I was finally able to connect without any errors. If you’re still having trouble, maybe try restarting the app or checking if there’s a specific setting in GSA Search Engine Ranker that needs to be adjusted.
