  'Google Console' is an unknown term for me. Probably it's something
related to your Google Workspace environment.

  For a normal Google Account, this URL should get you there directly:

<https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords>

  And, as I said earlier, in a normal Google Account, you can just enter
"App passwords" in the search box on the account Home page.

  As said before, for a normal Google Account, there are several other
options than a physical device. See 'Use other verification methods' on:

  Sorry, I dropped "to" between "used" and "actually". But you already
answered the question (the answer is yes).

  Hope this helps a bit.
