Agree w/ #4. This is NOT a duplicate of bug #754569.
This is something to do with the way that empathy links account settings
to the gnome keystore.
It's still broken, and has nothing to do with two-step authentication.
I'm using a EDU google domain, and it has a dedicated desktop client
password, and that password works fine until I edit Empathy, then when I
go back in next time, everything is gone.

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.
