Thunderbird won't interface with Gmail

Google recently installed a two-step authentication process; without thinking, since I use a number of Google apps, I installed it which now blocks Thunderbird which I used heavily. I have tried to figure a way to remove the two-step authentication process, haven't been able to and Google doesn't answer my Trouble Tickets.

Do you have a solution or work-around I can use to reconnect Thunderbird-Gmail?

Please ASAP!

Google has instruction on how to generate an Application Specific Password. I suggest you read their help pages to learn how to use gmail.
