> I use 2-step authentication with Gmail and Eudora, so it can be done. You need to go into your Google account's settings and set up an app password (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en) for Eudora. Then in Eudora, you'll have to replace your current POP password with the one that Google has generated for Eudora. It works flawlessly! Hope this helps.

Jill - Also, when I sign into Gmail from my phone, will i need to use the app password, or the one I've always used, before I got the app PEW/ In other words, is the app password specific to the Eudora program and nothing else? I'm afraid to sign out of Gmail and try to get back in! Thank you.

declaimed the following:

Most likely the GMail "app", being provided by Google, uses Google's
preferred OAuth2 (or whatever) security. Eudora and many older email
clients weren't designed with OAuth2 -- and Google doesn't want email
clients using you "direct" Google login information. Hence the "app
password" (I really think they are causing more problems by calling it an
"app" password -- to us old-timers "app" is something that runs black-boxed
in Android/iPhone tablets and phone. On a general purpose computer where
the use has access to everything, they are "application programs"/"email
clients"/etc.).

Current versions of the Pandora email client have an option of OAuth2
(GMail compatible since v3.1, Yahoo compatible in 3.6.6), and would not
need a separate "app password".
