Description

Currently, there are 2 methods to send notifications: filesystem and smtp. With smtp provider, if we want to connect to gmail, we need to set up an app password that can be used for purposes beyond just sending emails. It's a less secure option.

If we can setup oauth client and grant authelia sending email permission, it would be more secure.

Use Case

User setup gmail as notifier, authelia asks for sending email permission, user agrees and receives notification from email.
