Hi!

I, too had problems with gmail authentification. It's because they now only use some mechanism (oauth?) that isn't supported by gnus.
My workaround has been to turn on 2 step authentification for my Google account, then using a app specific password to log in gnus.

I have a script in my dotfiles that setup the new password for you: https://github.com/biotician/dot/blob/master/install.sh#L109-L112

I wish this helps!

Thank you for sharing your dotfiles !
