That sounds like what's called "App Passwords" here:

"Crucial to note, however, is that App Passwords will continue to
 work, which is good news, because without App Passwords, older
 IMAP email clients without OAuth support, such as the ones often
 used on legacy or minor operating systems, would cease to work
 with Gmail."
