      Setting Up Gmail Via OAuth: A Step-by-Step Guide -Coming Soon

      OAuth (Open Authorization) is a secure and efficient way to grant third-party applications access to your Gmail account without sharing your password.

      Why Use OAuth for Gmail? 

      OAuth is a secure authorization protocol that allows Arborgold to access your Gmail account without requiring your password. Instead, you grant limited access to your account through Google's secure authentication system. This ensures: 

      • Security: Your password is never shared with third-party applications.
      • Control: You can revoke access at any time via your Google account.
      • Convenience: No need to manually update credentials if your password changes.
