On my computer, it didn't work with my google-password before i
activated the 2-Step Authentication but also doesn't work now with the
app-specific password after i have activated it. Google Talk added
automatically to Empathy when i updated to Ubuntu 12.04 alpha, for i
have integrated my google account with the gnome-shell.

Title:
  Empathy does not support Google Application- Specific Passwords

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Confirmed
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Recently, Google introduced 2-Step Authentication[1] to make their
  users accounts more secure. This works by requesting that the user
  enter a randomly generated 6 digit number when they log in from an
  unknown computer for the first time. Since not every application
  supports this, they also introduced 'Application Specific Passwords'
  which is a randomly generated 16 character alpha-numeric one-time only
  password that it entered when connecting an application to a Google
  account for the first time.

  Since I have enabled 2-Step Authentication on my account, I am no
  longer able to sign into Google Talk using Empathy.
