Apparently, I might need an APP PASSWORD.

But as I follow various youtube and text explanations, I should be offered an App Password option. But I don't get any such simple terms. There's even a Google Help from April which shows App Password. I see the following when attempting to follow the various steps.

Second steps​

Make sure you can access your Google Account by keeping this information up to date and adding more sign-in options
 
I'm back and SUCCEEDED.

I was able to do it on the Pixel 9 Fold itself. Although, there were still a bunch of steps to finally be offered the option of an App Password. Then I had to thread through it a second time for my second Gmail account. Not sure that I will ever be able to find it again. It did not show up directly but in the process it asked if there "was something else Google could help with" and I typed in App Password. It led me to that option. Very convoluted. But Yahoo, allowed it to be done on a computer.

Next related issue: you are also able to add APPS to the Blackberry Hub or Inbox. Like Discord and Whatsapp. So it one of those apps receives a message, it appears in the Hub. Kind of a universal mailbox of sorts. I have Android's Text Message there on the original Pixel Fold but can't seem to find it on the 9 Fold. Actually, looking at the original Fold I don't see if offered as an option to add, it is already in there under "Text Message" but no such app shows up.
