Just to let you know that (sadly) we have Office365 at my 
institution but that they do not allow app passwords. It is 
something that IT has to allow from the Office 365 Admin 
Center. When I called them about it, they told me that they were 
only supporting email clients that had 2-factor authentication.

I haven't been able to use gnus with my work email (@yale.edu) 
since then. I wonder if the same is true for other institutions 
that use Google Workspace.

FYI, two free open-source email projects thunderbird (MPL-2.0) and 
fairmail (GPL3) work with 2-factor authentication. Is there anyway 
to use their method of authentication in gnus?
