On the other hand, at least in my opinion, they are preferable for 
situations where it's necessary to write the password in some 
configuration file (e.g. MTA configured to forward via smarthost, for 
interactive use it's possible to use a password manager instead).

The application password can only be used for SMTP/POP/IMAP (but not for 
logging in to the web interface) and in case you have reason to suspect 
it was compromised it can be easily revoked from the web interface.

Kind regards,
Andrei
