Google Workspace shutting down LSA support (third notice)
URL Copied
Google has sent out at least two notices letting folks know that LSA (less secure application) support for Google Workspace accounts is coming to an end. That means, I think, that among other things, you'll no longer be able to access IMAP mailboxes via only a username and password -- making automated mailbox scraping a lot harder for us nerds using old tools like fetchmail.
This isn't really a bad thing from a security perspective, but I'm still a bit sad.

The end comes on September 30th. You've been warned.
