I have signed up for it, and therefore KDE needs to either: 1. Prompt for a 2-factor code on every login and either use the cached google password or prompt for it as well. 2. Use a google application-specific password. This does not require a 2-factor code and operates fairly simliarly to how things work without 2-factor. I just tried re-connecting KDE with Google. It prompts you to login via a webpage and authorize the application. This login screen does not accept an application-specific password. I doubt it will persist beyond a single login, but we'll see... Rich
