TB chat support for Google is now noticeably outdated (GTalk logo and protocol). Does anyone know in which release channel or planned version TB chat support for Google will be updated to support the new GSuite for Business Hangouts Chat ? And if there's a workaround in the interim, like an Add-On? ------------------------------------- '''Background''': Thanks to posts like this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1279990 , I've had no problems pulling and sending mails with Thunderbird, since TB saved my password and Oauth token... for a google MAIL account. But now I'm trying to add a Chat account in TB belonging to the same Gsuite account, but it's falling into the ol' insecure trap and Google isn't authorizing it. I can't have the organization lower their Gsuite security settings to allow less secure apps, as it's a paranoid company not in my control. I received the notorious 'Critical Security Thread' email from Google that a sign-in attempt was blocked (Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access.) -> Was this you? Yes, it was me - continue -> (Less secure app blocked. Google blocked the app you were trying to use because it doesn't meet our security standards. Some apps and devices use less secure sign-in technology, which makes your account more vulnerable. You can turn off access for these apps, which we recommend, or turn on access if you want to use them despite the risks. Google will automatically turn this setting OFF if it's not being used. Suggested solution: Use 2FA and an App-Specific password '' Other relevant resources on this exact issue: * https://www.arcanumex.com/sync-google-hangouts-with-thunderbird/ * https://groups.google.com/g/mozilla.support.thunderbird/c/vD9QnQXInMg?pli=1 * https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/b68bsb/chat_google_talk_no_longer_working_not_authorized/''
