When one enables Google two-step verification, one can generate "application specific" passwords for use by programs like mutt, offline-imap, msmtp, exim, fetchmail, etc. I've been reading both Google and third-party documentation on this, and can't find any description of what "application specific" actually _means_.
Do you need different, unique passwords for mutt, imap, msmtp, offlineimap, and all other IMAP or SMTP clients on a particular machine? Are you required to use the same password for mutt on all machines? [That's what the description "app specific" seems to imply, after all it's not "app+machine specific"]. Or is mutt on machine A considered to be a different "app" than mutt on machine B? I've got probably 5-6 IMAP/SMTP client apps per machine on 3 different machines. Am I going to need 18 different "app passwords"? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow! Don't hit me!! I'm in at the Twilight Zone!!! gmail.com
