The answer is: Turn on 2 factor authentication in gmail then it gives you the ability to add app passwords.

In order to continue using gmail from Node-red, you have to set up an app password.
In order to set up an app password you have to turn on 2 factor authentication as described here
You do need to authenticate with 2FA when you login to create an app pasword see here but the app password bypasses 2FA.
