The hint about enabling "Less secure apps" access to your Gmail account is a bit outdated; most people with the technical know-how to set up Home Assistant and edit the configuration files will likely have two-step verification enabled on their Gmail accounts. I added a small clarification about using application-specific passwords in that instance to hopefully save people an internet search.
