[Q] Seriously...I can't log in with 2-step auth?

---

So I just got my Transformer 32GB...yay..*noise* *noise*

So I go to log in with my Google account...about TWELVE times.

I figure, you know what, you've had a few, pick it up tomorrow.

But it's so shiny.

So I log in with an alt Google account...same exact password (yes, security geeks...I'm that guy)...log right in.

Sooo...no 2 step out of the box?

Anyone else with this issue?

Android needs you to create an application specific password on a desktop to hookup your device to your Google account with two step authentication.

Go here:

Generate an application-specific password for your tablet.

Thanks team!!

When setting up the alt password what did put in the box, android transformer, or what?

Whatever you want. It doesn't matter and is just so you can keep them straight later on.

You'll get pretty good at doing this too if you have a tendency like I do to put a new rom on your phone like every 1.532 days!

I have about 18 now for various programs and sites that login to my account. But yeah I had to name phones with the CM version number or date I did the rom to keep them straight.
