**(111) Can you add OAuth authentication?**
(X)OAuth authentication, formerly available as *Select account* for Google accounts, requires creating an online (Google, Microsoft, etc) app,
which would make authentication for many people dependent on one (developer) account, which is a bad idea.
(X)OAuth authentication, [formerly available](https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/commit/eddfad1e25ca12c438d86793323895b41872f7b9) as *Select account* for Google accounts,
requires creating an online (Google, Microsoft, etc) app, which would make authentication for many people dependent on one (developer) account, which is a bad idea.
Moreover, periodically refreshing the OAuth token has shown to be less reliable than using an app password, which is just as safe as OAuth authentication.
