Yes, I think that's right. I haven't enabled 2FA myself but that's how it works when you have a Google Apps account using an organizational SAML login, and you want to use IMAP. :) Unfortunately, in my situation, the system is my employer's and may be demanded back at any time, so I can't have the password in any form saved on the machine.

(The last time I checked) GMail doesn't support 2-factor with IMAP. You have to set up an application-specific password to enable 2-factor for web and the mobile app, while still using IMAP. This isn't mutt-specific, it's for any IMAP client. Interesting. What I experienced is: Aha! I'm sorry. I misinterpreted your reply.
