Lonnie, I have tested google App Password and yes it works for us. The password is automatically generated, 16 characters in length (displayed in 4 blocks of 4, must exclude the spaces when entering it). The password is displayed only once, you cannot retrieve it again, only delete it. And I think I read that if you change your regular password then new app passwords have to be generated again.
