[Users] Gmail 'less secure app access'

I'm in the process of setting up POP3 access to my gmail account. Turns
out that Google does not like the name/password authentication used by
POP3, requiring the Gmail account to be configured to permit 'less
secure app access'.

Well and good, except that that feature goes away on May 30. Thereafter
two-factor login will be required.

Thoughts?
