Yes, exactly one week later fetchmail ran out of authenticators again.
I "published" my Google app and ran the refresh command as above but I
received a message saying my app didn't obey the rules. So I
unpublished it and then the refresh procedure worked. For another week
I assume. Time to think about a new email service.
