   Fetchmail, gmail and 2fa.

   I'm currently using fetchmail to draw from various POP accounts and   
   distribute on my server using fetchmail, procmail, and dovecot.  It has   
   worked flawlessly for several years going back to when imapd was the   
   serving daemon.   
      
   I received notification that Gmail will be going to 2FA (two factor   
   authentication) as of December 14.   
      
   Switching to 2FA at gmail results in a fetchmail authentication error.   
   Obviously the challenge/response required to log in is missing in   
   fetchmail, just the POP password is submitted.   
      
   Does this signal the end of my current mail service and force us to use   
   webmail?  If not, how can I satisfy gmail's need for 2FA via fetchmail?   
   Is there an alternative to fetchmail that will provide this   
   authentication requirement?
