> Is there any consideration being made to make TB secure enough in Gmails terms, to make it 'work' without having to tell gmail its a 'less secure app' ?
This is a Google/GMail thing, not so much a TB thing. Google/GMail would LOVE for email to just die and / or have their customers move to Webmail through a browser. It's a control thing. IMHO, Google CONSTANTLY wants to undermine established standards and move users away from ANYTHING that takes control away from Google's product and puts full control in a user's hands.
The whole "less secure app" is a marketing scare tactic by Google to make users think something that is perfectly secure is not. It's the method of access they're trying to hamper. I mean, why else would you have to flip a switch in GMail "Settings" through the web UI in order to access your IMAP/POP3 with a 3rd party client yet the GMail Android app happily access your IMAP mail without needing to flip said switch? Totally sus! Just sayin'.
