But if you don't have MFA configured (and I assume the OP did not have,
since if you had MFA you won't be able to login to IMAP via password only
anyway) and someone knows your password, he can login to your email anyway
using the web interface.

So what advantage in terms of security does disabling a password login via
IMAP give if someone can still login using the same password via the web
interface?
