So I just went out and bought SEO Powersuite to try to lift my websites rankings and ran into an issue with the Rank Tracker Software when trying to add a new project.
The software uses your Google Adwords and Google Analytics accounts to get rankings for your website and keyword data for suggestions etc.
When I tried to enter my account details it kept failing and told me to go into my Google accounts online in a browser to fix the problem - not very helpful!
After some digging I found that I need to go to the Google web page:
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
and set "Access for less secure apps" to "Turn on" then it worked.
I hope reading this saved you some time.
