I got something about error occurring on several occasions Wed and Thur, but I don't think I ever saw the words "Securi Website Fire Wall". Also saw nothing of the rest of what you've said.  

Wednesday AND Thursday off way more than on.....couldn't ever get to the point of asking if I was unique or was general. So far this a.m. Friday ok.... but it's early yet!

Only one more comment.... devil is making me do it. 😈 Now that I understand WHAT a "3rd party app" is, I HAVE to ask:

How lazy, careless, or just plain stupid does someone have to be that they would use BOTH their email user name AND password to sign in to one of these things???????

Thanks to all.  Got an email form a former bard member ( banned years ago for NOT a good reason IMO) and she explained it well to me. 

None of this applies to me. Phew.  Why I got the email when a lot didn't?   Just lucky I guess.  😒

............ are there other non-personal reasons or advantages?

Depends on what other nationality you have. For example, we are naturalized Mexicans, but require Canadian PP to enter  many countries without a VISA ( including U.S: and now Canada).  We also retain our main banking in Canada and I don't know if we would have to alter that if we renounced.

If you are using an app on your phone or tablet and that app lets you  log in using your Google redentials  it will require a 2nd method of verification if you used Google to log in.If you are using an app and log in to the app not using your Google account to do so there is no change.If you are not using apps on your pgone or tablet that offer a login using Google, Facebook etc it will not affect you.

1. Have desktop.... no tablet.  To enter gmail I click on gmail (in bookmarks sidebar) and that takes me to "sign in".  (Mozilla FIrefox)

2. I have no idea what kind of "app" would let me log in using google credentials.  EXPLANATION would be FABULOUS..... PLEASE!!

3.  On my phone, there is an "icon" ( for lack of better word) just like for Contacts, Camera, Gallery, Settings etc. ( android)  If I touch that icon, it has 5 options contained within......Google    Gmail     Youtube    Photos   Meet .         The ONLY one I ever touch there is Gmail, and it goes directly to my inbox.

Your opinion HIGHLY appreciated ML

I just followed their direction for deleting my old email information and got a new email address with a password.

Since you seem to understand better than I, can YOU explain the third party apps issue?  And how many people did YOU have to notify of new email address..... or does google do it fro you since Contacts is one of the things they mention losing?

I don't think so. That is what I thought might be the case but I see from research that they have been warning they were going to do this for a couple of years.

I reluctantly agree.  BUT am certainly not willing to have to notify a kazillion people ( MY way of socializing is mostly with gmail) and since there's still time will research more.  STILL don't understand what third party apps to enter means.

Is it possible that if someone sends me an email and includes something like a post/photo  from FB, a screenshot form ?, or those types of tings, that this could be what theyr'e talking about?

Just curious. Did you buy the ad-free and what do you think about it?

Haven't bought yet as I need to wait for a friend coming from U.S. soon.... will send to her U.S. home and she'll mule it here.  Have decided I will not spend the extra $$ based on Matteloriver and others.

Not willing to give up current gmail address.  Tech savvy Canadian cousin ( also uses gmail, and didn't get this message), working on decoding it for me. My sister didn't get it either. ??

But thankyou.

Last time I looked at Civil Code I think there was one maximum  increase for rentals under $5,000 pesos p/m and a different scale for those over $5,000.  That said, very few LL's or tenants know this code, and often LL's  simply ignore it anyway..... taking position " don't like it? Move!".

Many have it built into their leases, with terms/ times / increases stipulated. If you don't, forget about "going to court" over it.  You don't have that many years left!

 I am asking about Soriana and not any other store.

It was built as a Gigante (far superior IMO) and operated as such for a few years.  Then Gigante all over Mexico was bought out by Soriana and they renovated the building and moved in.  I can't remember either but was a thrill to not have to go all the way to Guad ( used bus in those days) to Gigante!!

WHEN YOU FINALLY HAVE THE WHOLE COUCH TO YOURSELF  😸

If, on the other hand, you are talking Canadian returns, unless you fully  qualify as Non-Resident (in which case you can file up to June 30) you're not leaving yourself or a preparer much room.

HHmmmmm....... might have been a question better asked before he made the move to Gerontology Central?

No idea.  That's why I'm asking.

Received from google  in my gmail  inbox today:

"We’re writing to remind you that starting September 30, 2024, your Gmail, Contact and Calendar account will no longer support less secure apps, third-party apps or devices that ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. It puts users at an additional risk since it requires sharing Google Account credentials with third-party apps and devices that can make it easier for bad actors to gain unauthorized access to your account...............   After September 30th, 2024, any app that uses only your username and password will encounter authentication errors when it tries to access Google Account. Typically these look like “Invalid username or password” or “Unable to login” errors.

1.  I sign in to gmail on desktop with user name and PW.  Does this mean I am using an "app"?  (Mozilla Firefox / private browsing)      Web searches typically done with google.

2.  When I turn my cell phone on, there's an icon where I can open gmail but that then happens automatically.  Are they talking about this or ???  DO NOT do web searches from phone.

The tech-dummy thanks you in advance.

Are you asking about when the original Gigante store was opened, or when Soriana bought them out and took over?

Yes I know. Search.  Apparently I'm too stupid to word a search correctly because came up empty.  So now have to ask for someone who deals mostly in dentures to rebuild / remake partial lower plate following an "accident" for non-member friend. 

One recommendation already received but is near Soriana.  AJijic centro to AJijic west more convenient.  If anyone can personally recommend Dental express for this, that works, but with Edgaard long gone don't know anything about them these days.    Gracias

And what, perchance, is a Mirage store?

Thank you amiga.  I didn't get it either......

COOL wherever this train might be  😸

I have dropped my used batteries at the Truper Hardware store in SAT next to Handy Mail.

Me too, but haven't see that receptacle there in a while.  And that doesn't take care of the light bulb question.

Me too!  Also..... I know energy-saving light bulbs contain something that should not go into regular trash, and I a whole bunch saved but no idea what to do with them.

Sorry that is not true.  One of the requirements to renounce Canadian citizenship is haveing a citizenship in another country.

My info goes back to 2006, so I guess this rule, as well as many others worldwide, has changed. Would never do it anyway but......
