Do you have 2 step authentication enabled? [Edit: Removed link since it wasn't the one I posted.]

yes i do and cannot disable it

Apple removed that option some time ago. https://www.macworld.com/article/33...o-factor-authentication-on-your-apple-id.html

Did you request a 2 step authentication password for Gmail on the Apple site?

Copied from an Apple article:
"Generate app-specific passwords
With two-factor authentication, you need an app-specific password to sign in to your account using third-party apps or services such as email, contacts, or calendar apps not provided by Apple. Follow these steps to generate an app-specific password:

Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
Click Generate Password below App-Specific Passwords.
Follow the steps on your screen.
After you generate your app-specific password, enter or paste it into the password field of the app as you would normally."
