Yep. And all the while they are doing that, EC is considering if they
want to ban calling apps "less secure" if whatever.  I don't really
care. Fetchmail isn't "less secure" because it doesn't bring the web
browser that requires 100 security fixes every month, quite the
contrary. We've had Kerberos/GSSAPI for ages.

So then, app password access it will be.
