is_secure not secure to gmail?

[ernestm]

Hi! We use imaplibrary for our mail needs while testing our app. We just switched to a Google Apps gmail account and when we connect, Google won't let us, it sends the account an email about "a less secure app" is trying to access the account, per https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255.

We can't tell our google account to accept less secure apps, we have to go through a couple days of convincing our domain administrator in IT to do it. I'm working on that, but I was wondering what specific security measures gmail is wanting, and if is_secure could be extended to support them. Thanks!
