The application-password that you create will need to be added in two places in your Apple Mail app.
There is your Incoming Mail Server password, which is immediately visible under your account information.
Below that you can see the selection for Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). The default will be Gmail. Click on the drop down box and select "Edit Server ...

I found it:
When you visit you Google Account Settings, you can select Security in the sidebar menu.
It will list 2-factor authentication. Click the edit button next to it.
This will lead you to this page: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthConfig
At the bottom of the page there would be a section about Trusted Computers. It will say that the ...

The vaguely named "Gmail" access is pretty much giving the application unlimited IMAP/SMTP access to your account (it provides an OAuth login which merely replaces giving it your password). In essence it is pretty much unlimited permission to your Gmail, so yes they could delete all your emails.
Providing any sort of access to your account will be a risk, ...

I ran into this problem as well, and after a while determined it's related to the Keychain Access where the passwords are stored.
One forum I found suggested running a "Repair" of the login keychain (available via the "First Aid" menu item), which resolved the problem for some people. For me, however, the repair process found nothing to fix.
Finally, I ...

What is the advantage of Google forcing me to keep me cellphone on, working and with me at all times
The point being if your password is stolen/compromised, there's an additional step required before it can be accessed by the attacker.

when I don't have my phone and I'll want to login

I assume you want to create your control panel app so that users can log in to it via Google's login services. If that's the case, you can limit access to your app in at least two different ways:
If you follow these guidelines, that is, create your control panel app with Google Apps in mind, it will be installed along your existing Google Services. As ...

Using two-step authentication with the Google Authenticator app is kind of like using an RSA key or other security token for logging in. It adds an additional layer of security to your account, augmenting the "something you know" portion (password) with a "something you have" (cellphone) option as well. It is not required, but the use of this code makes it ...

You can open it from mobile and when it asks for a code,you can select an option,like "Send code to backup phone". Then the code is sent to another phone number. For this, you have to add one more phone number while registering for two-step authentication..
Check this for more details.

You don't have an explicit "OpenID credential". OpenID is a standard for authentication; the whole point of it is that you have an account from some provider, and they authenticate you for other sites. It's not that a Google account comes with some OpenID certificate; the Google account is the OpenID account.

If you're a Chrome user, there's an extension that automatically bypasses the splash called Straight to Google Analytics. It takes a second or so to redirect, but much better than clicking that Sign On link every time.

It's their splash screen, and annoyingly it has always been like that. Unfortunately there is no way to skip it without going directly to the /web.
I'd suggest just bookmarking the link to http://www.google.com/analytics/web/, or if you use Chrome, type in the full URL (same as above) and eventually it'll learn to autocomplete to that instead of the splash ...

Google does not provide us any way to manually set the expiration limits of the verification cookies. This is an excellent case to offer up to them as a suggestion for them to add and option during issue time to auto revoke the code after a certain amount of time.
Until Google implements some form of expiration control you could as manually change the ...

From a verified device(laptop)
1. Login to https://accounts.google.com/Login.
2. Click on Security>2-step Verification>Edit

On Google's support site, regarding 2-step verification, they speak directly of this issue and say this it more or less comes down to being sure that your check off the "remember this password" box
Quoted directly from Google's support site:
Soon after you turn on 2-step verification, you'll be alerted that your password is no longer working (see image ...

Well your second article merely references the first, so only one article is really spreading the idea.
Hotmail doesn't have a two-factor system. As you suggest, you actually have the option of having a single use code sent to your phone to use on a public computer to login instead of a password. So in effect it is still single sign on, but you have a ...

You can create multiple gmail or apps accounts for chrome. SO that when you want to access a different account, you simply click the icon on the top left corner and choose the account.
You can set that particular account to open specific tabs...
For example, my analytics is tied to my old gmail (long before apps), so when I open that chrome account, it ...
