Hi, On Thunderbird I am not able to sign into my Google/Gmail account which is protected by two factor authentication. I can sign in only if the 2-factor authentication is off, however I would like to not have to have this option disabled just to access my emails. I would love it if there was a solution to this problem because Tunderbird was, and still is my favorite email client.

p.s: I get this error message: "Configuration could not be verified-is the username or password wrong".
