Hello,
Jun 2, 2022
FWIW, they are not requiring 2SV for webmail logins as of a few minutes ago.
Is there anywhere one can go to determine the status of POP3 access and/or IMAP access?

The last one was over a month ago and the tempo of the emails never increased...smh.
The guidance from the support page above is pretty vague and tailored only to a lowest common denominator audience. I haven't verified how to reconfigure things yet, just following search breadcrumbs from "using gmail after May 30".
I'm using Thunderbird and am starting to go through this:
Thunderbird and Gmail | Thunderbird Help (mozilla.org)

It's Google's new policy as of 30th May. There was an email about it a while ago:
To help keep your account secure, 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, you’ll
need to sign in using [sign in with google] or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0
So, goodbye Gmail... no more reading my emails for you.
Edit: this has made it impossible to even use my email client for other accounts... it just constantly pops up asking for gmails login. I'll have to delete the account in the client! Thank you so much Google, NOT!

I don't want to use 2SV on my desktop computer at home--it is plenty secure. Or is there a way to get the app password without using 2SV on a secure computer?
