Evidently (or at leas in my university), the same rule applies to academic Gmail accounts: the use of an app password is possible, provided that two-factor authentication is enabled.

Uwe Brauer -- I strongly condemn Hamas heinous despicable pogroms/atrocities on Israel I strongly condemn Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine. I support to deliver weapons to Ukraine's military. I support the EU and NATO membership of Ukraine.
