Oh, and there is another link for application passwords:

<https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/360058752854-App-passwords>

«Every third-party program or app needs its own app password to access 
your information. For the Fastmail app, you need to use your normal 
password. If you use your normal password or your Fastmail two-step 
verification password on an external account, syncing to an external 
service won't work and you will see a password error.

Users on a Basic plan will not be able to use Fastmail on third-party 
mail clients or create app passwords, as Basic plans do not include 
access to IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV, or CardDAV. If you are on a Basic plan, 
you can use Fastmail on a desktop web browser or the Fastmail app on 
mobile devices, such as a phone or tablet.»

And there are instructions on how to generate application passwords. It 
must be generated specifically for imap email.
