It still works for me. Just sent myself an E-Mail now via
git-send-email.
Password for 'smtp://ava...@gmail.com@smtp.gmail.com:465':
OK. Log says:
Server: smtp.gmail.com
[...]
Result: 250
My settings are:
[sendemail]
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpEncryption = ssl
smtpuser = ava...@gmail.com
confirm = always
And my https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords lists an app
password.
If you see this E-Mail from me that means my local Exim instance (which
also has an app password) is able to send E-Mail as well.
I have 2fa turned on on my Google account, I just have these app
passwords for GMail.
