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.
