However, unless you log into using a browser and select Allow to let less secure apps access your Google account Gmail may return an error when you try to login if you haven't had the Gmail account for at least 90 days. You can use a normal password instead for "secure authentication". It creates a token that will be used as if it was a stored password, by the password wizard. Using OAuth2 for "secure authentication" will popup a window for your password using your systems default browser. This supports logging in to third party sites like Facebook without having to send your password. This is a login protocol, that instead of requiring a username and password for authentication, stores a token in a cookie on your system and uses that instead. Sounds like Yahoo has swallowed Google's "OAuth2" Kool-Aid. It is likely to be available for IMAP and SMTP, but possibly not POP. Is there an option to use OAuth2 for 'Authentication method' in Account Settings > Server settings and also in the Outgoing server (SMTP) setting?
