This is surprisingly non-shitty by Google. I must admit that I didn't know that before. Can you limit such a passcode to just IMAP/SMTP, or can it be used to log in to other parts of Google?
- rfoo 3y agoThis passcode is inherently limited to the service it bound to (IMAP or POP3), that's the whole point: don't expose your account password to something which only needs a finer-grained access. Edit: that's incorrect, see replies.

- rfoo 3y agoAh, ok, I just tried and I'm wrong. That's correct, it provides full access.
- fps_doug 3y agoYou're directly contradicting your sibling comment. I guess I'll experiment with this in the coming days, although I'm a little worried tinkering too much will just completely lock me out of my account.
- bandrami 3y agoThey provide full access to your entire google account, but you can create as many as you want and revoke them whenever you feel like it.
