So we have our email requests coming in, like normal to a G Suite Account. As per Google, LSA's are going away as of June 2020, Final 2021:
G Suite Admins: Important Security Changes Coming
Starting in June 2020, Google will limit the ability for less secure apps (LSAs) to access G Suite account data. This is most likely to impact users of legacy email, calendar, and contacts apps.
LSAs are non-Google apps that can access your Google account with only a username and password. They make your account more vulnerable to hijacking attempts. Instead of LSAs, you can use apps that support OAuth—a modern and secure access method.
Access to LSAs will be turned off in two stages:
- After June 15, 2020 – Users who try to connect to an LSA for the first time will no longer be able to do so. This includes third-party apps that allow password-only access to Google calendars, contacts, and email via protocols such as CalDAV, CardDAV, IMAP, and Exchange ActiveSync (Google Sync). Users who have connected to LSAs prior to this date will be able to continue using them until usage of all LSAs is turned off.
- After February 15, 2021 – Access to LSAs will be turned off for all G Suite accounts.
So my Question is, is the Service desk going to update to allow this type of authentication. I don't want to remove 2FA on this account to use just a standard password.
What is everyones thought on this? This will disrupt a lot of users service desks I believe.
Will Service Desk need to update to accommodate this? Please let us know sooner, than later. Thanks
