Great! That's what I want. BUT ... when I sign into my domain, go to
"Sign-in and Security", and try to turn 2FA on, it wants me to enter my
password, to prove it's me.

I do that ... and go right back to the "Sign-in & Security". WTF?

<SIGH>

I will keep trying to make this work. In the meantime, I did get the app
password to work with my Yahoo account. There, I was able to enable 2FA and
get an app password. :-)

This is why I pay Google; I think I can actually call support and ask. Or
live chat. Can't do that with the legacy free Google Apps accounts (hence
the $4.16 a month :-)).

Thanks. I'll keep the list posted, once I get this 2FA and app passwords
sorted for my domain.
