QB 2020 Pro Gmail enhanced security browser not secure

Hi korazy8s,

It's important you're able to use Gmail to send forms without getting an error message. Don't worry, I'll be happy to give you a hand with this.

QuickBooks is designed to give you a hassle-free experience while you get ahead with your business. Google made an update for added security, so if you're using Gmail you'll need to reconnect your account. Here's how:

Solution 1: Use 2-step verification for Google

If you’re already using 2-step verification for Google, use solution 2.

1. Turn on 2-step verification for your Google account.
2. Go to QuickBooks Edit menu and select Preferences.
3. Select Send Forms.
4. Select Web Mail and Add.
5. Fill out the Add Email Info section and select OK.
6. Select OK to save your changes.

Solution 2: Turn on less secure app access in Google

If solution 1 didn’t work, or you’re already using 2-step verification, here’s what to do.

1. Turn off 2-step verification for your Google account.
2. Turn on less secure app access in Google. Make sure to read the Google security standards to understand how this may affect your account.
3. Go to QuickBooks Edit menu and select Preferences.
4. Select Send Forms.
5. Select Web Mail and Add.
6. Fill out the Add Email Info section and select OK.
7. Select OK to save your changes.

Solution 3: Change the enhanced security setting in QuickBooks

If you've configured Gmail to use enhanced security, you'll be prompted to authorize QuickBooks Desktop when you send a transaction or report.

If you’re unable to authorize QuickBooks, you’ll need to reconnect your Gmail account to QuickBooks and clear the option to Use enhanced security. 

Give this a try and if you have questions, I recommend contacting our support team using this link. Otherwise, feel free to leave a comment below. I'll be on standby.
