Description

Hi,

is it possible to use an app password instead of the main password for a Google Account? This way MFA could be circumvented more easily.

Thanks, Peter

Investigate the current authentication flow in the repository, likely in `google auth.py`. Modify the code to optionally accept a Google App Password instead of the main password. Add a configuration flag or environment variable to toggle this behavior.
