--- Comment #68 from David <kitt...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to wozny.piotr from comment #66) > At Kubuntu 18.04 with backports Kontact 5.7.3 > > I am able to generate app specific password via google account, but > switching to plane is not possible. > > Whenever i put imap.gmail.com as imap server address, the password option > get gray with no possibility to set password. > > BTW There are only 2 places in Kontact I can find plain authentication: smtp > settings, which I believe is not the one to change, but in imap settings > there is only Sieve settings have this option. Is this the place to change > to plain? anyway this is also greyed-out when gmail is imap server. > > Could somebody please produce step by step instructions for this workaround > so that more people like me - not being power users could work with gmail > accounts / calendars / contacts? > > have a nice day > Piotr Just as comment 67 outlined, what I meant with "create the gmail account normally" was to create just as if the 2-factor auth worked.
