Since uploading the current version of Thunderbird 102.10.1 (32-bit) neither of my GMail accounts will connect. When attempting to download mail, I get the following error: authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com

Two days ago, my GMail worked and without changing any settings, neither one will connect to the server. I have gone through all the settings in this article (https://mzl.la/3Pd9PXR) and everything is set correctly. Is there a problem with the current version and will there be a fix anytime soon???
