Sure, but redacted my gmail from it

The email is here with my gmail redacted...this is what Google sent me. Seems like they have a very, very broad idea of what 'less secure' means. I like checking my email in a terminal thanks...

Google
On 30 May, you may lose access to apps that are using less secure sign-in technology
    <gmail  address redacted>
To help keep your account secure, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to sign in using Sign in with Google or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0. Learn moreWhat do you need to do?

Email software, like Outlook 2016 or earlier, has less secure access to your Gmail. Switch to Office 365, Outlook 2019 or newer, or any other email software where you can sign in using Sign in with Google.

That's the email I got. I put the dashes in to mark the start of it. I did a quick search and found Mutt apparently has a way to handle Oauth2.0 stuff but it's a pain to set up, annoyingly and broke majorly when I tried it

I just got this in my inbox saying from 30 May, I won't be able to
simply sign in with a username/password.

So does that mean for things like rclone, Mutt, etc I'll need to do app
specific passwords or set up Oauth 2.0?

Which leads me to my next question...

Is there anything terminal based that's like mutt/rclone that supports
Oauth 2.0 already so I can be ahead of this?
