I believe this is due to the fact that Thunderbird is a non-synamically registered application: https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/file/tip/mailnews/base/util/OAuth2Providers.jsm > And for those applications, like git send-email, they introduced the > "App passwords" that you can use to you login without Oauth and thus no > 2FA prompt, without having to make any changes in security settings like > it was years ago. That's also the impression I had, that there's some shim to be used to avoid compromising your account's security. I don't know how it plays with git send-email though. Instructions would be nice.
