If yes, does it work for you? It still works for me. Just sent myself an E-Mail now via git-send-email. Password for 'smtp://avarab@xxxxxxxxx@smtp.gmail.com:465': OK. Log says: Server: smtp.gmail.com [...] Result: 250 My settings are: [sendemail] smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com smtpEncryption = ssl smtpuser = avarab@xxxxxxxxx confirm = always And my https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords lists an app password. If you see this E-Mail from me that means my local Exim instance (which also has an app password) is able to send E-Mail as well. I have 2fa turned on on my Google account, I just have these app passwords for GMail.
