Re:Google will disable all but OAuth for IMAP, SMTP and POP ... by jeroenhd on Friday January 19, 2024 @09:20AM (#39055742)
They're more secure than "Welcome2024!", which is what you can expect most people to use. 16 letters is more than secure enough, you can't brute force that. They're guaranteed to be unique passwords that aren't used on other services, so credential stuffing is no longer a threat.

This is an inconsequential change to people who use password managers, but it'll help against credential stuffing attacks for the common user.
