Google 2-step verification fails Mailwasher Pro 7 access

Google are going to enforce 2-stage verification on login into your Google account.
I decided to turn this on prior to the enforcement date of Dec 6th.
Immediately, Mailwasher Pro failed to log in, but as Thunderbird (my mail program) is a "trusted App", that still works.
I don't see any way of allowing Mailwasher that same sort of access.

What are we going to do?

George. :(

In Google, create an App Password to use in MailWasher, your main GMail password stays the same, this is just for use in programs that won't use OAUTH (like MailWasher)
