Google does the same. To interact with fetchmail and others you have
to disable the new security setting, which is impossible to support in
daemons. It is interactive and needs displaying web forms.

If they care about security, they could instead use certificates.


For instance, I travelled to a different city and google instantly
refused to work with one of my accounts, I had login on some form and
reactivate.
