Will Mailbox.org implement app passwords someday?
Answered
A lot of modern email service providers have app specific passwords that can be created and revoked at any time.
This allows people to turn on 2FA on their account, and use app passwords to log into programs such as K9 Mail, Fairmail, Thunderbird, etc.
Will Mailbox.org be implementing this in the near future?

I didn't see the setting and was going to ask you where exactly with a screenshot. So I switch the language to English (I set it to German because I'm trying to learn the language, so I try to get immersed more) and..... there it is! Now I see the setting as well! (Edit: it's also present in the German translation, the page reload is what must have done it.)
More precisely, it's under Settings -> Security (not account security) -> Application Passwords. This link should also work I think:
https://office.mailbox.org/appsuite/#!!&app=io.ox/settings&folder=virtual/settings/appPasswords&storeLocale=true
Thanks for the hint Maximus :)

I was wondering the same! According to help section 12.6 it's possible to do this, but the actual setting seems to be missing. I'm on the old 1-euro plan so maybe that's the reason?

Please!
Please!
This would be a very welcome addition to the service. I hope they are considering it.

+1 on this!
Like many, I let various 3rd party calendar apps use my CalDAV calendars. For this, I currently have to provide my full mailbox.org credentials.... this is not safe

It is a shame, that this feature is still not available.
Mailbox is warning in its blog about the current security issue, since it was made public that the new outlook from Microsoft is copying the login credentials of imap accounts into their cloud.
Unfortunately it is not app specific, so I can’t revoke it. Now I have to change it in all my clients.

I'd really appreciate this as I am currently using a cumbersome setup with a dummy GMail account, which has an app password (which you cannot login using), so that my VPS status emails are sent from the VPS to GMail, which forwards to my Mailbox.org account.
I'd prefer to be able to use a simple SMTP-only app password on the VPS, in case it ever gets hacked (not likely, but never say ...).

I cannot use MS Outlook anymore with my mailbox at mailbox.org and it seems this is due to the absence of app passwords. So please provide the feature asap.

I really hope that this feature gets added soon. This is the only service that I use that I do not have 2FA turned on, because if I turn it on, I would not be able to use IMAP. This causes a lot of insecurities. App passwords and being able to revoke them at any time would help with the security.

App password with the possibility to revoke it is a must have nowadays. Pls get it implemented very soon.

As of today, I'm seeing this option under settings, account security, for the first time. Have not tested it out yet. Anyone else have this option?
