> we require people to create app passwords

I like that, because it at least feels more secure to have a password that can only be used once, combined with the ability to go into the settings and shut off any device if it gets lost.

Yeah, it's by far the best of the options that use standard username/password authentication support. Basically make the password be another server-provided factor rather than user-chosen.
