I can no longer login to GMail using Thunderbird. I can still login to my GMail account on Firefox.
Using the latest version of Thunderbird (68.4.2) on Windows 10 (Version 1903). I have tried deleting the password and re-entering the the one that still works accessing GMail on the web (Using Firefox) as well as creating a new one. Nothing works
Other info: The error message that I get on Thunderbird says "Sending of password for user ........ did not succeed. Mail server pop gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted"
When I click "OK" I get "Login to server Popgmail.com with username' ........ failed." With 3 choices: Retry, Enter new password, Cancel. I've tried each and, of course, none works.

For POP you'll need to 'Allow less secure apps' in your Google settings. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

That worked (after I figured out to "Allow less secure apps")
It is surprising that Mozilla Thunderbird is "less secure". I've been using it (and GMail) for years. Before this problem started I went through some Google Security checks = I'll bet one of my answers changed the setting.
This did not work for me.
