Q: Mail App Spark with Two-factor authentication
Hallo everybody,
in the last few days I recognized the app Spar (from readdle), which is a mail app for iOS.
Works fine and looks great, but there is one thing that bothers me:
The app stores the email account's access token.
So, if you use e.g. Gmail there is a special OAuth token.
I'm using iCloud Mail with Two-factor authentication. To use the app I had to generate a special pasword on myappleid.com.
Is that the same as a OAuth token?
So my question is:
Is there a security-problem, when using Two-factor authentication?
Is there a way, that my Apple ID access token (username and real pasword) can be stolen form the server of spark?
Thanks.
