Kmail/Account Wizard
Note
If you use GMail 2-step verification you will need to generate an application-specific password within gmail security settings and enter that password in the password text box.

Just as it says, you need to generate an application specific password for that client.
As documented when enabling 2-step verification for an account, you need to create an application specific password (to be used in place of your regular password) for any client/application/device that doesn't know how to ask for the 2-step code (like your phone). https://support.google.com/mail/bin/...answer=1173270
