correct password no longer working (thunderbid / gmail) ! Works with online gmail version !
Dear reader,
I have been using Thunderbird for years now. A few days ago I used CCleaner. The day after Thunderbird give an error stating : "Sending of password for user patrickjaecques did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Web login required: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754". I checked everything on this support page, four times over, and still the problem is the same. I also re-installed Thunderbird. Started up my PC and checked for virusses. I am 100% shore the password is correct. It also works with the online Gmail account. So what's going on ?

Then you should read it a fifth time and pay attention to the 'allow less secure apps' part.
As I said... I have checked every item on the support page multiple times. Also this ' allow less secure apps ' acces...
What I find strange is that, in the online Gmail version, I can't select POP3 options. It states that POP is active, but I can't select any option. When I select any, and save, nothing changed.

And what's your conclusion about 'less secure apps'?
Did try it several times and does not work for me ...
Please explain what you did several times.
