Don't feel bad. I recently went through the process of enabling app passwords and what not for google accounts. I did that because I lost control of one account and decided to implement every recovery option possible on the others - like TOPT's and backup codes. If there is a way to do it without purchasing stuff like tokens or entering phone numbers, I could not see it.

If there is a way of doing it, I suspect it's deliberately well hidden. I also suspect what they enforce varies by country.
