Is Authentication method "Normal password" or "OAuth2"?
Certainly here Google sent emails warning this would happen and eventually blocked "Normal password". Now only OAuth2 can be used, but setup gives the OAuth2 provider (e.g. Google) too much personal information and difficult not to use SAME setting and link all Google accounts.
It only makes a difference at a Public WiFi point running malware (or maybe some Mobile Networks), and I started using a VPN to my router at home when using public WiFi about 15 years ago.
