Here is the shortened story of what you actually do:
There are broadly speaking 2 main parts to what you do
_Part1) You must enable (Turn on) 2 step verification on the gmail account
_Part2) You must generate an "Apps password"
_3) That "Apps password" is now an extra second password for that gmail account which, amongst other things, is what you use in the sendpassword part of the configurations in a CDO send message type coding. ( In other words, you no longer use your main password in the coding. Instead use the generated "Apps password". )

The full detailed walkthrough story
Part 1 Log in and enable 2 – Step verification
_1) Log in to your gmail account as usual. _ https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin

(This should be the account you want to use to send Emails using the CDO send mail type coding)
( _1b) If you are already logged into your gmail Email, then go to Manage your Google Account

_3b) You may probably need to log in again

, and on doing so you will likely be asked to make some verification of some sort or another. (Typically I use the default SMS, which then arrives on my mobile phone)

_4 ) The 2 –Step verification setting up proceeds

Add verification code https://i.postimg.cc/gkvggJ4F/4b-onc...rification.jpg
_5) We finally get to turn it on

_5b) We are finally turned on: We have 2- Step verification enabled.

So that’s it, finally for the first part, 2 – Step Verification is turned on
Notes:
_ Google gmail is very security conscious, and during the process you will likely get security warnings many times and likely be asked to confirm that you are the one doing things to your account. You should try to respond to these quickly, or else they may think something bad is going on and they will block your account which will throw an almighty spanner in the works and things will get very complicated!!

_ from now on, you will likely have a more complicated , 2 step verification process when trying to log into this gmail Email account
