Thanks for having a look at this bug report.
I could explain in a general way how this might work for Gnus's nnimap
backend. However, given what I've learned from Lars's and David's
responses, I would prefer to keep this bug report solely about OAuth 2.0
support, with a focus on Google's email services.
Two factor authentication can be implemented by a service without
requiring OAuth 2.0, and vice versa. (Given what I've learned from Lars
and David I probably should not have even mentioned it in the initial
report.) Therefore I think lumping the two concepts together in this
bug report will be too confusing.
We could open a new bug report, or open a discussion on emacs-devel,
about two factor authentication support in Emacs generally. However, I
don't have a specific example to discuss or a bug to report about a
specific service, so I don't think the resulting discussion would be
focused enough to be productive.
