As I mentioned before, I use (Google) 'App passwords' with (a rather old version of) Thunderbird. I have seen no indication anywhere that 'App passwords' are going away. Of course Google would *prefer* us to use OAuth2, but that does not mean that 'App passwords' are going away. As mentioned, there are loads of 'old' e-mail clients, which do not have OAuth2 functionality and hence it would be rather stupid for Google to break all those clients. (Yes, one could put a OAuth2-'proxy' between the 'old' client and the Gmail servers, but we don't want/need more hacks, do we!?)
