[asterisk-users] asterisk a "less secure app" on google ??

[sean darcy]

To connect to google voice with xmpp, I've had to turn on the "less 
secure apps" switch.

My xmpp.conf :

type=client
serverhost=talk.google.com
secret=mysecret
priority=25
port=5222
usetls=yes
usesasl=yes
status=available
statusmessage="Not available"
timeout=5

Is there a way to configure xmpp so I don't have to turn on "less secure 
apps" ?

Is this just a way of google messing with us ?
