Tried rechecking all mails, but did not find that mail. TOTP
based twofactor can be used even without phone app.

OAUTH2 is basically logging in via web brauser and then getting
authorization token, that needs to be refreshed from time to time for it to
continue work. It is theoretically open standard, but... In reallity
service providers like Google and Microsoft require certifing programs
before they can use their OAUTH2 login.
Also, for it to work seamlessly program needs to have embedded
web browser or web server to receive authentication tokens.
