Since this afternoon gmail stopped accepting Eudora login :-(
I hope someone will make some proxy or some kind of a relay to stand
between Eudora and gmail so we could still continue using the best
email client in the World.
Have you bothered to read any of the traffic in this group over the last month or more.
NO proxy or relay is needed. You just need to follow Google's instructions on how to generate an "app specific password" which you
provide to Eudora INSTEAD of the password used by your Google login
account.

My mistake - I thought the new login system started from today and I
didn't check older posts.
Now that I've read through older posts - as I understand the only way
to enable App Password option is to first enable 2-Step Verification
and to enable 2-Step Verification Google needs a phone number?
Seems as all these changes are just to force the users giving their
phone numbers :-/
Enforcement started now -- but Google has posted notices about the change for months.
Two-Step verification is used by financial and medical institutions also. The entire purpose is to ensure that the person accessing the web
page is the person with a (preferably previously provided) second contact method that is not available to a spoofer. Most often it is in the form of
a random numeric code sent as a text message which must be entered within some limited time span.
Once you have the "app password" you should be able to turn off the two-step process -- that should only be needed to access the web pages involved with changing security.
