Title:
  Empathy keeps on losing Google Talk's Application-Specific Password
  for Applications

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
