Trend Micro AIProtection - disappointing alert message - VP victim

[Authority]

Just got an AC68U and tried to set up alerting to a dummy Gmail address, but I get this email from Gmail once I do.


Hi Kevin,
Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account blah@gmail.com from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards.

We strongly recommend that you use a secure app, like Gmail, to access your account. All apps made by Google meet these security standards. Using a less secure app, on the other hand, could leave your account vulnerable.

Sooo.....that's not going to work, is it? lol

If you figure it out let me know too!

if you have a linux box handy - install postfix as a smart host and set up a gmail account there for forwarding to gmail...

Just updated to an RT-AC68U from an RT-N66 - decided to try this and got the same message.

Please search. This is a well known issue with gmail.

Yes did that and see lots of different reports from various email clients etc.

So are you saying gmail won't work with alerts from Asus routers?

I've been contacted by Vanic, "ASUS SW RD vanic, responsible for AiProtection related functions (TrendMicro)" . He's noted the comments in this topic and is very keen to improve AIProtection and the associted FAQs. He's also noted the deficiencies, even though some are outside his area of responsibility. I've offered to help in any way with reviewing the English and the content of the FAQs, and he's going to get back to me in a week or so.

If you've been contacted by vanic - this is indeed a very good thing - I've interacted here with him, and he's d**m sharp at what he does. There are things beyond his control, but he's the right guy to work with...

He is indeed, and most pleasant and helpful, too.

Gmail works very well with Asus alerts but I had to enable two-factor authentication.
