Do you have a solution that allows us to keep using a passwd in an MUA?

Did you get this message today in all your Google email accounts?

It implies Google is dropping third-party mail user agent passwd support.

Verbatim:
 "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."

I'm sure I'm like others in that I do _not_ want to use my phone to
authorize anything (not text, not 2FA, not my IP, nothing). I simply want a
login and a password and I don't want anything more than only that.

I'm not even sure if I want to use OATH2 (only if there is no other way).

I don't use Google applications if I can help it, so I use 3rd party MUAs on
all my platforms (K-9 Mail, Thunderbird, FairEmail, etc.).

Do you have any solution that allows us to keep using a password in an MUA?
