I battled with this a few months ago before figuring out that app-specific password part. Great write up, and very useful for users setting up a google account inside Tape. Thanks!

@Luis and @CarsonRedCliffLabs I just saw this article on Google.
I think this will be ok if you setup your Google account before summer of 2024.
Maybe Tape team will do some work after that.

Good info. It appears Tape will need to upgrade to Oauth to keep functionality working. Thanks for sharing.
