OAuth is too abstract and that’s why it’s bad.

I’m not a backend guy, for a hobby php site I’m trying to get Oauth2 with gmail free smtp, and the token refresh part to run on its own and even with packages like Phpmailer there’s no simple working copy/paste examples, just loads and loads of bits and pieces and outdated examples and small print about Google changed this or that… I mean wtf is the point of having a package that is supposed to abstract OAuth if you still end up having to dig for hours and having to figure OAuth2’s flow in detail?

I’m so disgusted I figured maybe I’ll do the password with 2fa on that email acct and be done with it even though OAuth shpuld be the better option.
