To use email notifications only gmail id can be used and use an app specfic password Google account settings in order for the feature to work.

Only you and those who can see your screen physically can see your passwords.

Your passwords are stored in a local variable in your Jupyter Notebook and not stored anywhere less. It gets automatically destroyed when Google purges your notebook.

Do not remove processed_db.txt from your current batch directory else it'll process same files again and again each time you restart the notebook!
