that's the thing: I don't understand how the parts fit together; what

Without (1) turned on, you cannot create (2).
But, once you've created (2), can you turn (1) back off (and still have (2)
work)?
I do not remember, but I think, that this makes all "app passwords"
invalid.
I don't understand the *logical* connection. logically you can have
app-specific pw's without 2-step auth. (not sure about the other way
around.)
if we leave aside for a moment incriminations of corporate power and
plots, is there some reason to connect the two methods?
anyway, invalidating your pw's is a good reason not to fool around if
you've set up several devices already. so if your app-specific pw gets
lost, I guess that justifies the 2-step?
