Re: [Astlinux-users] OAuth for SMTP?

Hi David,

Thanks for testing.

From what you describe, a Google App Password seems like a great solution, specific to an application so the master user/pass is not replicated over all your AstLinux boxes. Also relatively easy to revoke a lost App Password and regenerate a new one.

The password is automatically generated, 16 characters in length (displayed in 4 blocks of 4, must exclude the spaces when entering it).  The password is displayed only once, you cannot retrieve it again, only delete it.  And I think I read that if you change your regular password then new app passwords have to be generated again.
