Does Google talk work with thunderbird?

more options

With Thunderbird 45.2 on a windows 10 machine I have not been able to get the google talk chat to connect. I have triple checked the email and password and yet it fails and reports not authorized.

Is there anything outside of the chat wizard settings that should or can be changed to get this working?

Thank You

Christ1,

Thank you, setting the app password is what I needed.

Have a great day.
