I forgot to mention something which perhaps might be of use to those 
people using gmail accounts and having difficulties with authentication.

Besides the free gmail accounts that we all have, gmail also provides 
accounts to associations or businesses, like for example, the ieee. 
Members of the ieee have addresses like someone at ieee.org, which in fact is 
handled by gmail, most likely for a fee.

The important thing is that the association defines the security policy. 
On ieee there is no nagging to use only oauth2, no nagging about less 
secure applications, no nagging about having a phone for recovery or a 
second factor, no nagging about using application passwords. It works as 
it always did, and gmail keeps silent.

It is not only the ieee, I belong to another association in Spain which 
also uses gsuite, similar rules.

So I suggest that you create some association or enterprise, and use gmail 
through them. Some association for people with difficulties or whatever.

Just saying, in case it helps.
