Does https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en not work?

  It is silly, as I think that is disabled if you have "Advanced Protection" turned on. Which... is what I thought they now called 2-step. Seems it is 2-step+? So, yeah, "Advanced Protection" offerings would be good. Looks like I could make my own app that uses open id to connect?

    This is possible with mbsync. Take a look at Archlinux wiki page for mbsync.

      The page I found assumes you can get an app password. Those are disabled in advanced. Am I looking at wrong page?

        I used mbsync like this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Isync#Using_XOAUTH2 https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Isync#Using_XOAUTH2 On Fedora, I think I had to dnf install "isync" (for mbsync) and "libkgapi" (for the SASL XOAUTH2 plugin) and also pip install "oauth2token". You'll need to get credentials from Google. I think this describes how: https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2 https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2 If you have a plain gmail account (instead of Google Workspace, or whatever it's called now), one irritating thing is that you have to renew the access tokens (using oauth2create) once a week.
