[Bug 796322] [NEW] Empathy keeps on losing Google Talk's Application-Specific Password for Applications

[Dax Solomon Umaming]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

I enabled Google's 2-Step Verification and use Empathy to access my
Google Talk contacts. I noticed that every time I reboot, Empathy keeps
on losing the application-specific password to the point that I now have
it saved - but encrypted - on my tiddler. Empathy does not lose the
password on application restart though.

This not only happens on a single workstation at home but also on my
workstation in the office. Both have Empathy v2.34.0 installed and both
using a completely different application-specific passwords. I've also
tried it using another user account on my home workstation signed in
using a completely different Google account with 2-step verification
also enabled with the same results.

Empathy just kept on losing its' password.
