DM: Okay, turns out that during the setup of this other account
(referenced above), for some reason (probably user error) the password
fields hadn't been auto-populated during the authorization setup
process. So when I thought it was working, it was just using the 'old'
non-OAuth2 POP settings. ---Dustin
