Will Application Specific Passwords Work After Sept. 30 2024?

Based on: https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2023/09/winding-down-google-sync-and-less-secure-apps-suppor... 

As stated in the subject, I am wondering whether existing app passwords ( 16-digit passcode ) will continue to work after Sept. 30 2024.  

Also, will it still be possible to create new app passwords after this date? 

At the bottom of the article it states: 

"If the app you are using does not support OAuth, you will need to switch to an app that offers OAuth or create an app password to access these apps." 

Which seems to suggest app passwords will still be supported.

@Dan_C any ideas?

I have the same question. Will app passwords work after Sep 2024 or all must be OAuth? 

Hi,

I also have exactly the same question. Can we have an answer to this, please?
