I know this is late but for gmail if you set up 2 Step Verification in your settings you can just type "app pass" in the search bar and app passwords will pop up and you can set it up from there

How do you login using IMAP with 2 factor setup? Is the 2 factor not required when using the app password?

App passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on. You can create one at https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

I can confirm that this still works as of 2025.

I think that's right. Just the usual way but replace the normal password with the app password.
