What is gMail's Mail App Password
I have a number of gMail accounts. When I look at my security settings in Google. I see 3 entries for each account..
Mail App Password
Thunderbird (which I'm moving away from)
Mailbird (which I'm moving to)
I'm curious about the first one, Mail App Password. It seems to have been created approx 2 years ago. But I cannot think what it could be for? As far as I know, I don't need Mail App Password unless it is somehow associated with the Thunderbird and Mailbird emails. If I delete it. Will my Thunderbird/Mailbird programs still have full access to my gMail Accounts. Any light shed on this would be helpful.
I also have 2 step authentication on for all accounts. I assumed this was for verifying me as a user. But I'm wondering if Thunderbird/Mailbird need some settings to cope with logging on with 2 step authentication?
My basic problem is I cannot see any differences in google for all of these accounts. But some of my Mailbird accounts won't send mail. So maybe there is a setting in Mailbird, which I've overlooked, for why this is happening?
