GMail Sender - now that Google banned 'less Secure Apps'

Previously we were able to send email to Gmail accounts BUT it seems that:::
"To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022, ​​Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password."
Has anyone examples of how to do this now without using other services like IFTTT
Thanks in anticipation ...

I've used Mailchimp and SendGrid. They both have had what was essentially a free tier. I have no idea if that's still true.

If you're brave a Raspberry Pi can be configured to relay email.

SUCCESS... Further to my original post I offer the following which may be of assistance to others:

I have finally made some progress by seeing how to overcome Google's restrictions with the requirement for '2-Step Verification' based upon an excellent library available from:
GitHub - mobizt/ESP-Mail-Client: ⚡️Arduino E-Mail Client Library to send, read and get incoming Email notification for ESP32, ESP8266, SAMD21 and RP2040 Pico devices. The library also supported other Arduino devices using Clients interfaces e.g. WiFiClient, EthernetClient, and GSMClient. including some excellent example code.
