TB won't recognize PW for one of my email accounts

Thunderbird Nameščanje in posodobitev

I have three gmail accounts, one of which I only recently opened. I was able to set up the first two accounts in TB with no problem. When I opened the third account, however, TB tells me that the password is incorrect. I have tried several times and get the same message each time.

I have gone back to the gmail site, signed out and signed back in. The same PW I have been trying to use in TB works perfectly on the gmail site, so I know it is correct. I even tried a copy and paste, to be sure I wasn't inputting it improperly. But TB still won't recognize it as valid.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong and how I can get TB to accept this account? It is my new work email, so if I am going to continue to use TB I must get this worked out.

Thanks.

have you enabled access for "less secure application" in your google settings?

Thank you! That seems to have taken care of it. Why, though, is TB considered a "less secure application"? That does concern me.
