So I'm having Yet More Login Problems. I'm aware this is impossibly tiresome, but this appears to be a specific problem that hasn't been raised in this thread yet.
I'm using two-factor authentication (work requirement, also common sense) using my trusty YubiKeys, and if you use this you need more than just an API key, client ID and secret to use a Google API: the app either needs to support OAuth 2.0 (not likely in most cases), or needs to use a per-app password: failing to do this will generate a 4xx Access Not Configured error every single time, even if everything else is working. I can generate a per-app password easily -- but the plugin appears to have nowhere to specify one, which means I am doomed to never be allowed to log in without compromising the security of my Google account as a whole by completely disabling 2FA.
Is there support for per-app passwords somewhere in the plugin that I haven't noticed, or am I doomed?
