Besides what Andrew says, gmail is forcing to activate 2FA/2SV on all 
accounts, and in that case, using application passwords is easier to do 
than Xoauth2.


I did not like the idea of having to use 2FA on an account is not 
associated to an android phone (in which you login to google), but can 
also be the recovery phone that they also force you to input on the 
account settings. They send an SMS to it, and that works.

So I have an android phone in which I login, and use it as recovery 
phone for other gmail accounts.

Yes, many loops.
