This password stuff may be easy for a geek/nerd to understand, but for a 72- year old, you've made it so difficult to understand....well, I've been trying to make Unroll.me work for the last 45 minutes and it's still a no-go. Very disappointing as I used your program previously and really liked what it did for me. Now? I have to find another way because I've been kicked out. It just feels like you fixed something that wasn't broken & broke it for me. I can't believe I'm the only user for whom you've created this obstacle. Merry fuggin Christmas to you all.
I have generated 5 different app passwords and NONE work. The service is now unusable since I can't login.
