The fact that Gmail forces folks to enable 2fa for app passwords is an added
bonus in my book. :)

The 2fa requirement is a problem for those of us who don't have
smartphones or SMS. (I see now that they also offer 8-digit backup
codes to print out for 2fa; perhaps that might be a workable option,
though I haven't tested it.)

I'm not going to argue too much, but I'd say that someone who's looking for
solution to use with git-send-email is *likely* going to have access to a
smartphone. :)

It's also possible to use TOTP without a smartphone (e.g. via a desktop app),
though this would largely defeat the purpose.
