1230367 - Updated to 38.4.0 - one acct password no longer works

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Peter N]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151029151421

Steps to reproduce:

Updated to 38.4.0


Actual results:

Now it will not accept the password for one of my gmail accounts. The other gmail account still works. I did a "show passwords" and they are both correct. I logged onto the gmail account with Firefox and was able to access the account fine.


Expected results:

TB should have been able to access the two accounts that I had been using with it.

In my inbox for the account that TB cannot log into, there was this message from Google:
Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account [e-mail] from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards. [The only "app" that is not working is TB!]

The newest thing in my world is a new smartphone that is running the gmail app. It works fine on both accts.

What did you upgrade from?
In the account settings, is he Authentication Method set to OAuth2?
