1773160 - Unable to sign in to gmail after 6/7/22 update

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[wendyergreen]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0

Steps to reproduce:

I opened my email and got this error repeatedly after the update last night (Version 91.10.0 (32-bit)):
Login to account "[e-mail]" failed
Login to server imap.googlemail.com with username wendyergreen failed.
Options are Retry/Enter New Password/Cancel.

Actual results:

None of the options worked except Cancel so there is no way to sign into my Thunderbird email account.

Expected results:

I should have been able to get new messages and open existing messages

Is it set to use OAuth2 for authentication? That's the only thing gmail allows now.
