So let me get this straight...  I can keep using Thunderbird38 on my 
computer with my gmail accounts as long as I implement Oauth2 (whatever 
that is) and delete my stored passwords (which I just saved with an xv 
screenshot).

What about uploading photos to google photos?  What about using google 
maps?  What about my saved places in google maps?  What about those 
things using my phone instead of my linux (or windows or laptop or other 
people's computers) computer?  Will they send me a text message with a 
code to load in every single time I use a google app?

Personally, password security is perfectly acceptable to me -- if I were 
plotting to overthrow the world perhaps I'd feel differently, but I 
don't say a hell of a lot in email that I wouldn't be willing to post 
publicly.  I AM unwilling to pay T-Mobile a dime every time I need to 
deal with a text message in order to deal with any google product.

Is there a website that deals with the details of this travesty in detail?
