Gmail to stop using SMTP for authentication

[The_Doc_Man]

I am still using my 16-character password for Outlook through AT&T, and they suggested that their web portal to mail would still use the old passwords anyway. It is only for things that auto-connect (Outlook being #1 on their hit parade) that needed the more secure password.

Sorry. I haven't looked into this as yet

Ok, I just got confirmation from G suite. OAuth will be the only option in February. That rules out two-step authentication using App Passwords. My next approach is going to be to look into Chilkat. They have OAuth support for Gmail:

I'd spring the money for the product if I knew how to use this to send an email via Gmail...

This product also looks like it might be able to do the trick:
