SUMMARY

I tried to setup kmail with my gmail account. I followed this tutorial: https://userbase.kde.org/KMail/Account_Wizard. There is an information to 
generate an application-specific password if you have GMail 2-step verification setup. 

I didn't have GMail 2-step verification but to sync I had to enable it and follow the instructions.

I think it is a misleading information because it doesn't imply that you should set GMail 2-step verification but only follow instructions if you already had set it up.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. disable Gmail 2-step verification
2. set GMail account through account wizard.

OBSERVED RESULT

An authentication error showed up.

EXPECTED RESULT

Should sync Gmail account with KMail.
