I don't understand the article about "Automatic Conversion of Google mail accounts to Oauth2 authentication.
As a gmail POP3 email account user does this mean if I am on Thunderbird 91.8 (or 91.9) I need do nothing about getting an App password from Gmail and when Google forces 2SV upon me Thunderbird will automatically cope with this ? We were told gmail/Google would not accept/allow/permit Oauth2 authentication for POP3 (and therefore we would have to use an App password). Has Thunderbird found a way to deal with this ?
If not and I have to have an App password, can I just edit passwords in Saved Passwords (Password Manager) to insert the App password instead - and will this automatically then be saved; or do I have to delete the passwords, then go through the Get New Mail (and subsequently the Write & Send) to insert the App password and remember to check "save it in passwords" or "use password manager" to get it into the Saved Passwords ? (I get conflicting answers when I search for advice)
Thank you
