Marc,
This is my method as well.
You can in her settings turn on two factor, choose to have google provide a
spoken on the phone code, and turn it right off again once alpine has been
setup.

Hello all,
I have set up Alpine with Gmail and I'm able to successfully connect to
the Gmail account and access/send email. The issue is that this just stops
working after a couple of days. This is coming from a WSL environment
(Ubuntu). I have the master password??set up and if necessary I can open
the links provided in Alpine and work through the steps to re-auquthorize
it. The weird??thing is that each time I'm pulling down the exact same
token from Gmail. The Google account info says that the access??"Does not
expire" but it still stops working. I have a master password file set up.
If I were to main user of this account, then this would be an annoyance
and nothing more, but this is set up for a blind woman who is still
learning to interact with the screen reader. She is not able at this time
to go through those steps. So, if there is a way to keep the
authentication going on??Alpine's??end, I'd love to hear it.
Please let me know if you have??any questions or suggestions.
I don't have personal experience with that method; I use a different one.
While someone with experience with your method comes, I'll explain mine.
I use gmail application passwords. The idea is that you generate in the web
interface of Google a password for each application you use, in this case
Alpine. This password is random, longish, and seems to be permanent. But it
requires that you have that second factor auth thing enabled.
