The problem I have with those apps is you have to have _already_ set up
your email account as 2FA/2SV/MSA/MSV in order to get them to do anything:

 <https://i.postimg.cc/rFC2Gvc4/otp02.jpg> Red Hat freeOTP settings

The problem I have with setting up 2FA/2SV/MSA/MSV is that I've never set
it up and yet I'm trying to understand how it works _before_ I set it up.

One "issue" I have (mostly it's a fear) is that I won't be able to access
email via Thunderbird/OAUth2 once I set up 2FA/2SV/MSA/MSV since you set it
up by account, and not by MUA, right?

So, if I do set up 2FA/2SV/MSA/MSV for my Google mail account, how does
that Google mail account know to use OAuth2 for Windows Thunderbird but,
oh, say, app passwords for K9 mail?

BTW, I thank you for suggesting I use Google Voice on the iPad as my
verification number since on the iPad, Google does _not_ create an account
(whereas if you log into Google Voice on Android, Google _does_ create an
account on Android).
