Then I have to re-enter it into Google Reader on the devices too. Rather a pain. The devices cannot use the main password and 2 factor generated password, but requires you to set an app password from within your Google account.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710205.post-78693260337959693812011-05-04T12:00:10.424-05:002011-05-04T12:00:10.424-05:00Good news: I sent bug reports to both Apple and Go...Good news: I sent bug reports to both Apple and Google, and it seems that Google solved the problem.

That's when the security exposure is greatest, too. So any non-Android, Iphone or Blackberry user is out of luck.
