That doesn't make sense.
It's like complaining that you need to lose a limb in order to use
prostetics...
App passwords are a suboptimal solution in case you cannot use 2fa for a
certain application.
If you cannot use 2fa for any application, then don't enable 2fa, and
then you don't need an app password. Just use your regular password.

All you need to enable 2fa is demonstrate that you can *use* 2fa... So
you need an OTP client.
Cheers.
