oauth2 with GMail?

[Hokan]

Don't app-specific password act like second passwords and give full
access to your Google account (not just mail)?  If so the granularity of
oauth access would make it the better choice.

While you may need a GSuite (or whatever they call it now) account to
create the project, once created it can be used outside that domain,
including for a regular gmail account.  I created one and use it for
regular Gmail and for accounts across half a dozen Gsuite domains
(school, work, nonprofit, personal, etc.)  This email is being sent
from Mutt using Oauth2.
