How is the application password "scoped"? Can I not retrieve your Drive, Photos and Hangouts content with the same credential you generated for Gmail? Unless you're using OAuth, I believe I most certainly can.
- woodruffw 4y agoHmm, it looks like I was wrong about that. I remember scoping it, but maybe that was just me naming the password in Google's UI. So yes, it looks like it's roughly equivalent to a normal Google login (but without the 2FA requirements?). That's too bad.
- 0daystock 4y agoIt's especially confusing because Google calls them "application-specific" passwords, but they are anything but that!
- ghostpepper 4y agoFastmail allows scoping. You can allow POP, IMAP, SMTP, CardDAV, WebDAV and CalDAV individually
