Information for Gmail Authentication Plugin users

As previously announced, we would like to remind our users we will remove the Gmail Authentication plugin from core new installs and we will stop supporting it, as a core extension, as of Joomla 4.0. We invite our users to start switching to another authentication method as soon as they can.
