+**(109) Why is 'select account' available in official releases only?**
+
+Using *select account* to select and authorize Google accounts require special permission from Google for security and privacy reasons.
+This special permission can only be acquired for apps a developer manages and is responsible for.
+Third party builds, like the F-Droid builds, are managed by third parties and are the responsibility of these third parties.
+So, only these third parties can acquire the required permission from Google.
+Since these third parties do not actually support FairEmail, they are most likely not going to request the required permission.
+
+You can solve this in two ways:
+
+* Switch to the official version of FairEmail, see [here](https://github.com/M66B/open-source-email/blob/master/README.md#downloads) for the options
+* Use app specific passwords, see [this FAQ](#user-content-faq6)
