Right now, Gmail sign in looks like this:

It's easy to skip this and causes . Some ideas:

  • Add brief step-by-step instructions instead of just linking to the guide
  • Replace the password label with “App Password (what is this?)”

This goes for all OAuth e-mail providers.

In my opinion the screen "Connect an email account" is useless, instead we should see an email field. According to the provider then we will display specific information.

@kosssi Yeah, it makes sense, and I've implemented it some time ago, but this got lost after an update (#42). We should reintroduce that at some point!

I agree! I left that out because I intended to look into OAuth stuff. I will look to reintroduce that :)
