Using Gmail to access other Gmail accounts after the end of Less Secure Apps

[Kilpen]

Hello,

It's great that Google is ending the Less Secure Apps in favor of more secure methods, particularly OAuth.  Unfortunately, the Gmail feature within the Settings -> Accounts to allow Check mail from other accounts: and Send mail as: both require use of App Passwords.  Since App Passwords are a form of basic authentication, it would be great if a feature is added to GMail that would allow adding additional accounts using OAuth.

In the meantime, are App Passwords being discontinued or can a special exemption be made to allow continued use of App Passwords?
