Gmail is changing, yet again, so that we cannot use third-party apps. In the past, I have had problems using Kmail with Google stuff, but I changed my account settings to accept "less secure" apps, third-party apps, whatever, and then it was okay again.
I finally got round to my Gmail account. I don't really use it much, as I hate Google, but it has been useful to have a Gmail account for some things. I wanted to go into my account and make whatever changes were necessary to make it work, but now I find that I cannot even load Gmail's login pages, account management pages, etc. I can only load help pages and the like. This is true (so far) for every browser I have tried. I have tried enabling all cookies, turning off private browsing, etc.; but my attempts to connect are treated as though I am behind a proxy even when I'm not, or that I am a bot, or something like that.
I only use Gmail for "business", by which I mean stuff like shopping, for places like Best Buy and Tiger Direct; since I know that I will get tracked to death there anyway. I have been trying to track down all my important business that uses Gmail, to change them to my Zoho email account, until I can figure out some better, more permanent solution; but I can't even remember all that stuff for which I once put down Gmail as my email address, and haven't thought about it again in a few years.
Is there any way to configure Kmail to work with Gmail (i.e., using 2FA or OAuth2, etc.) without having to get into Gmail itself? because, you see, I can't even login on a Gmail page, much less get into my account. And yet, until at least the end of this month, I can still receive Gmail.
I imagine some others out there in the TDE universe must also have to confront this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
