Hi Eric, "Not Authorized" is just a fancy way of saying "incorrect password". In the case of Hangouts/Gtalk/gmail this means you need to set up an app password, see https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#gtalk_2fa for more info about that.
Alternatively, you can switch to the Hangouts plugin which has a few benefits over just using XMPP (see https://bitbucket.org/EionRobb/purple-hangouts/wiki/Differences_with_XMPP for more info) including a different auth method that doesn't need you to set up an app password.
