Google Account security/sign in changes September 2024
Dear Sir/Madam,
I use the Thunderbird email client on my Microsoft Windows 10 desktop tower PC in order to access my Gmail account using POP3, using "only" my email address and password.
However, I note that Google plan to introduce more stringent and tighter sign in/authentication methods from September 2024 as follows:

Does Thunderbird have a workaround for Google's plans please?
Thanking you.

Use OAuth authentication as described in the linked article, and use your main Google account password to sign in. Also see https://support.mozilla.org/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20
