I've been using Python to email .MOBI files to the Kindle "Personal Documents" service, which adds them to your documents list on Amazon and allows them to be downloaded, synchronised between reading devices, etc. I've been sending via Gmail's SMTP server rather than the University server (because my Gmail account is authorised to send to Kindle, and my University account is not). That stopped working today, with the mail server reporting an incorrect password.
The answer: https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
This doesn't actually display a Captcha, but it opens a ten minute window during which, if you use the application which is getting password rejections, the password will be accepted and the application added to a "whitelist".
