dan> I don't see any "application password" option.

See my reply to Ben, and this Google page

  https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en#zippy=

Under Create & Use App Passwords, point 3, there are four cases that
restrict the use App Passwords.

 a. 2-Step Verification is not set up for your account.
 b. 2-Step Verification is only set up for security keys.
 c. Your account is through work, school, or other organization.
 d. You turned on Advanced Protection.

If you are restricted by a, b or d cases, you may be able to change it,
if by the c case, you're out of luck.
