git send-email and gmail smtp
so I tried to submit a patchset via sendemail, and ran aground on authorization. its been a while since I sent from this computer, laptop power cord is cut :-( but failure wording is ambiguous 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. For more information, go to 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials j15-20020a0566022ccf00b007d6905cc017sm3758492iow.4 - gsmtp Essentially, google is changing policy, and 2FA is coming (or just arrived) is there a well-travelled path to work around this issue? something like ssh-key-agent ?

You can use app-passwords and store them in a keyring. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en Thanks, Siddh

You can still use app passwords with gmail, you just have to set 2FA on your account. There are guides on the net how to do that. Alternatively, you can also use the web submission endpoint with b4 -- documentation is available here: https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/overview.html -K
