Yes.
You should be able to add an application password to a specific device:
1. Log in to your Google account and go to the Sign-in & Security page
2. Scroll down to App passwords and click it
3. Click Select app, and then Other from the list
4. Enter Unity Mail and click Generate
5. Copy the app password and click Done
6. Go back to Unity Mail and paste the app password
