So they basically did the same thing as Google? I wonder if this really "improves security" as they claim. If you log in via password, you don't have to store the password in your email client; you will then have to type it everytime you launch your mail client (it is what I'm always doing). Both with OAuth2 and with app password, some form of credential must be stored in your mail client: OAuth2 token because it just works this way, and app password because it's random and impossible to remember. So this is actually *less* secure if someone gains access to your computer (or a mobile device, which can be a pretty real scenario if it gets stolen) - they can then access your email without any password whatsoever... -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
