I need a password for Google Desktop/Moble client? Where do I get it?
I updated my Mac to Tahoe 25.5.2 recently. After the update my e-mail – Thunderbird- would no longer work. I was able to connect Thunderbird to the my university gmail account and can now read my e-mail, but I am unable to send e-mail from Thunderbird and I get a request for a password. When I enter my University password, I get the same message back. I only have one University password. What password is it asking for? The help lien at the university if not of any help. The segment below from University material point ou that I do need a second password. Where do I get it from?
2. If you are a UMN Google (Gmail) user sending from a desktop client like Thunderbird, you must use the authenticated relay smtp.gmail.com and sign in with an active Google account plus a Google Desktop/Mobile client password (your regular UMN password may not work for this).

Do you have an account with Google. If not your provider is saying you need one. That account will have a password and that is the password they refer to. go here.and either sign into Google or create an account. https://accounts.google.com/
None of this has anything to do with Thunderbird. It is all your mail providers convoluted steps. There is much more that needs to be done in googles gmail to set it up as an authenticated relay for another account.

I can not exactly verify the steps, but given it is a google AI giving instructions on how to do things with their own email I would assume it is not hallucinating.
