Here is the workaround for people coming into this bug with Two Factor Auth set. You need to generate an application specific password for the Google acct in "Online Accounts" from this page: https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

Google's full documentation on generating application specific passwords for applications that aren't compatible with MFA: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

I saw this as well, and set an app specific password to get around it, but it would be nice if I didn't have to use that workaround. :)
