<p>Google has started pushing towards more complex authentication
|
||
|
|
schemes based on OAuth 2.0 that require clients and users
|

|

to jump through quite a few hoops, and use web browsers for signing in.

+If this hinders access to your account through fetchmail, you have some
|
||
|
|
+options:</p>
|
||
|
|
+<ul>
|
||
|
|
+ <li>You can generate and use an
|
||
|
|
+ <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833">App Password</a>.
|
||
|
|
+ This is probably best unless you are on a "G-Suite" account and the
|
||
|
|
+ administrator has disabled this option.</li>
|
||
|
|
+ <li>You can use separate tools to generate and renew oauth2 access
|
||
|
|
+ tokens. Then configure fetchmail to use "auth oauthbearer" and use
|
||
|
|
+ a current access token as the password. See comments and --help in
|
||
|
|
+ contrib/fetchmail-oauth2.py from the fetchmail source tree
|
||
|
|
+ for more information. This is derived from Google's
|
||
|
|
+ <a href="https://github.com/google/gmail-oauth2-tools/wiki/OAuth2DotPyRunThrough">OAuth2DotPyRunThrough</a>,
|
||
|
|
+ associated code, RFC-7628, and RFC-6750.</li>
|
||
|
|
+ <li>You may turn on access for "less secure apps" at
|
||
|
|
+ <a href="https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps">https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps</a>,
|
||

|
||
|
|
+ But G-suite administrators are more likely to have disabled
|
||
|
|
+ this option than "App Password"s.</li>
|
||
|
|
+</ul>
|
||
|
|
+<p>It is disputable whether an application that does not include web
|
||
|
|
browsing capabilities or heavy-weight libraries is "less secure" as
|
||
|
|
Google claims.</p>
