Maybe it's obvious, but just to be sure I understand your setup: 1. You have 2-factor authentication turned on. 2. You are using your app password within gnus, not your gmail login password. 3. Claws/seamonkey are using the app password, not the login password. (My own setup is like Adam, without 2-factor, so I use my login password.) But there are two other things going on. Gmail is in the process of completely disabling "less secure" in all forms. (I've posted about this before.) The first stage is that the "less secure apps" setting can't be turned on any longer if it wasn't already on. The second stage, to come in about a year IIRC, will be to drop the app passwords and require use of Oauth2. That one will cause some irritating work for many of us. (As an occasional user of mutt, it will be especially annoying.) -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via Gnus/BBDB/Org/Emacs/Linux _______________________________________________ info-gnus-english mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnus-english
