I knew about app passwords but I stayed with the impression that they gad been abandonned and that OAuth2 was the only way to go. Apparently I was wrong and indeed, I enabled 2fa and could then create an app password which I was able to use with mutt! So, just to make sure I understand correctly: it is required that 2FA is enabled so that app passwords work? Any insight on why this is so? Because, to me, the two things look rather orthogonal. One other thing I found disappointing is that the app password Google generated for me was rather short, compared to what I would have come up with. So I don't relaly see the point, except that okay, thi password gies access only to my mails and not to the whole universe a Google account is. > I did that because I could not get OAuth2 to work It really made my day. Many thanks for your assistance! I think it'd be nice if this would be documented somewhere but I am not sure where. Best wishes, Sébastien.
