(Solved) Getting Invalid credentials when using 2-factor authenication #210

Closed drazisil closed 7 years ago

drazisil commented 7 years ago

I'm getting VMAIL_ERROR: Invalid credentials (Failure), but I think it's because I have MFA set up on my Gmail account.

I'm going to look into PR'ing this myself, but I'm not sure the Net::IMAP class support that, so this might be tricky.

Solved: You need to create an app password for this to work.
