You actually can. It's possible to create app specific passwords. Well, a while ago at least.

Not if you have mandatory hardware 2fa (advanced protection program) on, no. You're probably thinking of just 2fa enabled, which still permits TOTP (and app passwords). Once you enable APP, it is U2F only, and app passwords are no longer possible.
That initially got deprecated for paid accounts. But I think they’ve since delayed the deprecation indefinitely, probably because they got strong push back.
