So I came across this bug in Empathy today on Ubuntu Precise 12.04 LTS. According to the GNOME bug report linked above, this is fixed in GNME 3.8. Could we get this fix backported to Precise since it is a LTS release?

This works by requesting that the user enter a randomly generated 6 digit number when they log in from an unknown computer for the first time. Since not every application supports this, they also introduced 'Application Specific Passwords' which is a randomly generated 16 character alpha-numeric one-time only password that it entered when connecting an application to a Google account for the first time. Since I have enabled 2-Step Authentication on my account, I am no longer able to sign into Google Talk using Empathy.
