I will note that I turned on 2FA long ago, and I've had zero trouble with MailMate and its app-specific password. You set it up once; after that, it just works.


Echoing Steve here.

I use several platforms which make use of per-app passwords, and MailMate with Apple's 2FA and per-app password support has been easy; FastMail have it as well.

I would recommend a good password manager though. I use 1Password, which helps me organise this quite nicely. Each platform with application specific passwords is a separate entity in my data, and I make a new "Password" item within that entity for each of the Applications.

MailMate has worked fine with this setup. Only took a few minutes to set up with 1P.

Absolutely worth it given the importance of email, and how compromising an email credential is often a gateway to the compromise of $everything_else.
