[Bug 1069531] Re: Cannot login to Empathy after setting up Google online account

[Steven Roose]

@Rob That solution I suggested doesn't at all implies you should have 2-factor auth. All 2-factor auth options were between brackets.
What I think happened is that before, online-accounts stored your raw password and now works by giving itself access via the default Google Auth API. So people with 2-factor auth give this permission another way that people without do.

Of course I'm not sure of this, that's just what is looks like if I see
what people are experiencing.
