How do I get an application-specific password for Gmail?

Question

I am trying to log into my company email, that is hosted with Gmail, from an application. We have two step authentication setup, where you have to verify that you are who you say you are by getting a code that Google provides.

I have "googled" this and have not been given satisfactory assistance, hence I seek your assistance here.

How can I log into my Gmail account through a third party application when I have two step authentication setup?
