Demonstrates how to authenticate using an app password with GMail for IMAP and SMTP. AutoIt

; This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
; See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

; Starting May 30, 2022, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices 
; which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

; Instead of authenticating with your GMail username/password, a GMail user can create an App Password
; and then login using their username/app_password.   It's literally the same, except it allows a GMail
; account owner to isolate passwords to specific applications.

; The Gmail account owner would first need to make sure she has 2-Step Verification setup for her account.
; Note: The 2FA verification is not a factor when authenticating with an app password. The 2FA is required
; to setup app passwords in the Google account console.  See Sign in with App Passwords

; After the GMail account owner has setup his app password, he simply uses the app password instead of his GMail account password.

; For example:
$oImap = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Imap")

$oImap.Ssl = True
$oImap.Port = 993

$bSuccess = $oImap.Connect("imap.gmail.com")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oImap.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$bSuccess = $oImap.Login("user@gmail.com","srnyyvqajocnsvdp")
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oImap.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite("IMAP Success!" & @CRLF)

; For SMTP..

$oMailman = ObjCreate("Chilkat.MailMan")

$oMailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.gmail.com"

$oMailman.SmtpUsername = "user@gmail.com"
$oMailman.SmtpPassword = "srnyyvqajocnsvdp"

$oMailman.SmtpSsl = True
$oMailman.SmtpPort = 465

$bSuccess = $oMailman.SmtpConnect()
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oMailman.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$bSuccess = $oMailman.SmtpAuthenticate()
If ($bSuccess = False) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oMailman.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

ConsoleWrite("SMTP Success!" & @CRLF)
