Planned Google authentication changes

Received the email below from Google (links deleted).   What does this 
mean for Fetchmail?  A quick search turned up "not much".

IIRC I had to enable "use less secure" in gmail for it to work with 
fetchmail.  Perhaps  I was just in a hurry then and lazy now?

**********************************

On May 30, you may lose access to apps that are using less secure sign-in
technology

To help keep your account secure, Google will no longer support the use of
third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account
using only your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to sign in
using Sign in with Google . .

or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0.  . . .

------------------------------
*What do you need to do?*

*Email software, like Outlook 2016 or earlier,* has less secure access to
your Gmail. Switch to Office 365, Outlook 2019 or newer, or any other email
software where you can sign in using *Sign in with Google*.

You received this email to let you know about important changes to your
Google Account and services.
