This time I tried all this with my Firefox browser logged out of the Google account, and it did not matter, same dead-end problem.
Clicking on the "Get mail" launches me into this dead end, where the window in Thunderbird is obviously connected to the Gmail server, and has obviously gotten to the point of telling Google account I want access, but when I hit "Allow" the window disappears and I am right back in the inbox with no mail downloaded. In T-bird I have used "advanced settings" to force account creation and have set it up to not check mail unless I "get mail".

I use the actual Google password, it sends the verification text, that gets me to the page asking to allow T-bird access to Google, I click "Allow" and the window appears and nothing happens. Thunderbird asks for the the password, and when I use the app password, it gives a red message: "Try again with your Google Account password".

In Google, I created an app password for "mail" on "Windows computer". OK, I made a test Google account, and set up two-factor authentication. Oh, so after Google changes my account setting, I can just change it back, and Thunderbird will work the way it always has? Sheesh. We recommend switching to more secure apps instead." "If "Less secure app access" is off for your account" is the text, "If 'Less secure app access' is turned off for your account, you can turn it back on. I re-parsed the Google announcement about turning off less secure access on May 20, 2022.

I will do a reboot and see if things change, and then fire up T-bird on my Win10 box and see if that install will let me do an OAuth2 log-in to my test Google account.Īlso, all my worries are much ado about nothing. I just checked and it is set to "Never Notify". This was in 2016 when I put a SSD drive in the laptop with a virgin install of Win7. I remember much hell getting my NAS connected, and messing with UAC. I thought it might be my User Account Controls.

If I can't get this working by May 20, 2022, then I will just delete the three accounts, and use my personal I am not running any antivirus, at least I don't think so, the Win7 security panel says "Currently not monitored," but I did find Windows Defender Real-time protection was set to "on" so I turned that off, and still the same behavior. If I can't get this working by May 20, 2022, then I will just delete the three accounts, and use my personal Hi, trying to get Thunderbird to work with Gmail two-factor authentication in anticipation of deadline, when I will have to abandon 3 Gmail accounts if I can't use Thunderbird POP to get my mail.Īt this point I figure to just make new Gmail accounts with 2FA and play with them and T-bird.
I am setting up a POP account.Ĭould it be that I am logged into the same Google account on the same laptop, so I can manage my YouTube channels?Īt this point I figure to just make new Gmail accounts with 2FA and play with them and T-bird. I am running Win7, with T-bird 91.6.1 (64-bit) latest release. I tried an app password in the Google account, and when I enter that in T-bird, the Google screen just prompts for the actual password for the account. If I hit the "Continue" button again, it puts me right back into the verify loop, until Google thinks I am a robot and stops letting me try for a while. Then I get a Google screen asking for permission to let T-bird access my Gmail account, I say "Accept" and the pop-up screen disappears and nothing happens. I learned to set Thunderbird to accept cookies, and that let me get my text message on the phone and put in the Google account verification number. Hi, trying to get Thunderbird to work with Gmail two-factor authentication in anticipation of deadline, when I will have to abandon 3 Gmail accounts if I can't use Thunderbird POP to get my mail.
