Hi There: all of the sudden Thunderbird version 60.6.1 (32 Bit) is asking for a password
Hi There:
All of the sudden Thunderbi
My configuration is to imap to gmail using TLS/STARTTLS:587.
My iPhone which uses the same configuration is connecting fine to my gmail account.
Any ideas?
It was working just fine this morning, I was sending and receiving emails, and then around 10AM EDT, I got the Login to server imap.gmail.com with username xxxxxx failed.

I figured it out. Gmail uses 2 step authentication, Thunderbird doesnt support it(?). So I created an APP password and used that password for Thunderbird and its all working.
The weird thing is why did it happen.
That rhetorical.
