Creating Gmail client ID and secret (Article Updated)
Although you can use application passwords with Gmail (to email logs or backup your email) you may want to instead use the more secure OAuth method. To do this you must first create a unique client ID and client password. Think of these as usernames and passwords, so instead of entering your real username and password into an application (like SyncBack) you can instead use the client ID and client password. This process is similar to creating a client ID and password for GDrive, with the difference being the scopes that are used. Scopes define what can be done by the application that uses the client ID and password.
