   I keep forgetting about Gmail's app password option.

   Before generating app passwords, they say you need to have 2-step   
   verification enabled, like you login on your desktop PC, and need to   
   have your smartphone nearby to get a text with the code.

   Some users have noted that 2SV is only needed when generating app   
   passwords, and it can be turned off afterward.  Enable 2SV, generate an   
   app password for each app connecting to Gmail, and again for each app on   
   each device.  App passwords are unique to each app on a device, and   
   across devices.  One app password per app wherever it is.  Then see if   
   2SV can be disabled.
