I am using "app specific passwords" and sign-in using google account is
disabled. But there are differing views about whether this arrangement
would sustain beyond 30 May. (E.g. [1]) Google hasn't assured that it
would. They are only talking about whether they find the authentication
protocol secure or not - whatever it means, not objectively stated.

Such a large email provider should have communicated it better and also
provided an environment to test it out beforehand instead of keeping
people guessing and directly pulling the plug on some.
