What to do
- If your personal account uses Advanced Protection, stop here rather than weakening the account’s security. The current Gmail App Password release path does not support that account.
- For a work/school account, ask your administrator whether app passwords and IMAP can be enabled.
Current boundary
Gmail OAuth/API recovery is staged research, not an enabled recovery path. Do not bypass an account’s security policy or use an account password to make the RC connect.
Good to know
Snapattic never asks for your account password. If an account can’t issue an app password, we would rather tell you plainly than compromise your security.
