I opened a ticket, response was:

The Bat! uses oAuth to sign into your Google account and get permissions to send/receive mail and synchronize contacts. The Bat! will not store your main Google password, instead it will keep a token which will only allow to access mail and contacts. We suggest you use oAuth: https://www.ritlabs.com/en/news/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=6777

seems to work fine :up:

New user,
new install just today (x64 on Windows 7)

Trying to set up my gmail account using IMAP.
Note: I added the new account before registering the Bat, then registered, the problem persists.

Two factor authentication is enabled in gmail, so I created an app specific password for the Bat in my google account.
This does not work.
A new window opens (with Bat logo in titlebar) to the following page:


====quote====
Sign in with your Google Account

Enter your email
[my email address is here]
Next

=============

Click 'Next' requests my google password -- the app specific one does not work.

# Does the Bat expect me to give my main google password?
# Should I just delete the account and start again (poss. related to the programme initially not being registered?)

(was unable to find any info about this problem, maybe my search-fu not good enough..)

TIA, Tom
