How can I get Google's two-step verification to work?

Question

On my Android phone, I can't seem to use my Google Account because I have the 2-step verification enabled. Can I log into Google without disabling the 2-step verification system?

Here is a link to Google's 2-step verification system: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/advanced-sign-in-security-for-your.html

Logging into my Google account is not a problem using the 2-step verification on a standard PC/Laptop, i.e. on a Microsoft/Mac OS, I just can't seem to use the 2-step verification system on Android 2.2.2.

Here is the link to your answer. – Aniket Thakur Apr 05 '15 at 05:37 — Aniket Thakur, Apr 05 '15 at 05:37

The answer is that you have to use a standard computer, log into your google account 2-step verified google account, go to authorise applications and sites, and set up your android device. Google have said that 2-step verification will not work yet on android, so they have provided this work around for now.

Here is the link where you create a password to authorize your device: https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens

They will then give you a password which you can enter into your phone, allowing you to keep 2-step verification enabled.

You can do this from the browser on your phone if you are patient and don't have a handy desktop. I activated my account on a new phone while I was still at the mall that way. – TomG Nov 03 '11 at 01:20
The page seems to have been moved. Go to https://www.google.com/settings/security and click "App passwords: Settings", add name and click "Generate password" – zpon Apr 15 '14 at 18:19
Thank you so much for this. I remain flabbergasted that this process was so opaque. I went down this path on my own but when I got to the drop down list for creating a new mail password for – Pat James Oct 18 '14 at 18:07

Good answer, but this was still confusing to me, because it wouldn't let me enter the app-specific password for Google's Play Store. Final Solution:

Create an app-specific password for Google Play at https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens (E.g., name it "Android Phone Play Store").
On the phone, add a 2nd Google account (All Settings > Accounts & sync).
Launch Google's Play Store.
Go to Menu > Accounts.
Switch account; then, switch back.
When it asks for a password, enter the app-specific password you've created.
