Happening since morning, I got rid of Gapps on phone (for privacy concerns) and can't use K-9 Mail anymore, guess I'll have to resort to mobile browsers for email access.
- sanchay 6y agoAlso for me this page (https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps) says - "Setting could not be read".
- generalpass 6y agoUnless it's for work, why not use a different service or host your own mail server? I'd say setting up a mail server with projects like Mail In A Box is easier than living without GApps.
- dlandau 6y agoAt least for me it's for work
- httpsterio 6y agoRunning your own mail server is a sure fire way of making sure that your email don't get through to anyone.
- generalpass 6y ago> Running your own mail server is a sure fire way of making sure that your email don't get through to anyone. How is your experience so far with inboxing while using Mail In A Box?
- EllipticCurve 6y agoI can confirm. Same thing for, started 3 hours ago. It seems to work again for the moment though (after one hour, no change from my side). The setting is also gone for me!
- kl4m 6y agoCan't you create an "application password" for IMAP?
- kgwxd 6y agoThat requires two-factor auth, which requires giving them a phone number.
- Spivak 6y agoYou can't set up TOTP without giving Google a phone number?
- aasasd 6y agoI'm not sure if Google allows using phone notifications first (another 2fa method) and then switching to TOTP, but TOTP isn't allowed as the first choice.
- trazire 6y agoThey support using phone numbers and then switching to TOTP and deleting the phone number.
- aasasd 6y agoSo how does this avoid giving the number to Google?
- 0xdeadb00f 6y agoIt doesn't. I think they were just confirming this: > I'm not sure if Google allows using phone notifications first (another 2fa method) and then switching to TOTP...
- chipsa 6y agoCan you setup google voice?
