OSX Mail.app and Google 2 Factor Authentication

[kilofox]

Has anyone been able to use the OSX Mail.app with Google 2 Factor Authentication?

I generate a one time application password in my Google account and it works for a while, but usually am prompted for a password before the end of the day or the next day for sure.

Anyone have success?

I believe what you need to do is setup an application specific password.

I've done that... still prompting me for a password. Do you have it working fine?

Yea I have two step auth on and the application specific password worked ok. Make sure to enter the password it gives you not the account you login to the website with.

kilofox, I get the same symptoms as you. IT works for a while, then stops.
