Do FTP and WebDAV no longer work with the master password?
I keep getting errors when I try to configure FTP and WebDAV clients...
Thanks! |
You now can only use your master password for web access and the Fastmail-provided mobile clients.

Thanks for clarifying this Bill. Application passwords indeed works. Too bad they're impossible to remember and that there's no way to view or edit them. I guess convenience was not a factor in this change.

What you describe is not my precise understanding, and connections using dav.messagingengine.com and ftp.messagingengine.com with the master password still work, I believe, unless you enable two-factor authentication for web sign-in.
Changing to the new server names, and application passwords, is a good idea for security reasons, but I do not think it is compulsory. |
I have two-factor authentication disabled, yet the FTP and WebDAV clients failed to work with my Master password.

The new ones (based on fastmail.com instead of messagingengine.com).

What is the rationale for eventually requiring all customers to use a app password? This sounds like Fastmail is getting too focused on the needs of business and mobile customers.
I normally only read my mail using Thunderbird, at home. I occasionally read my mail using webmail or my smartphone when away from home. I don't have a calendar. I have no need for two factor authentication. This change means I'm going to have to deal with at least three, possibly four passwords, and is going to make it harder to troubleshoot when something goes wrong. |
