Most of the people use Gmail for sending emails. We have precious
information stored in our Gmail account. So Gmail would be the target
for hackers being hacking it. Gmail developer team has given us
wonderful security option by enabling the 2-step Verification,

By enabling the 2-step verification from you Gmail account makes your
account more secure by making you to login into Gmail by 2 step. While
logging in into the Gmail account, Gmail send you the security code to
your mobile phone and asks you to enter that code in Gmail login page.
This makes sure that only the mobile phone carrier can able to know that
code. So your account cannot be Hacked if someone tries to hack your
account from somewhere else.

Your Another Application and Connected account will not be working,
you need to re-invoke that on Final 2-step Verification or do it later!
