Need to save Gdocs password for 2-step verification accounts

[arthaey]

I use 2-step verification for my Google account, which means that I log in with application-specific passwords rather one general purpose password. See here for more details: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answ ... er=1173270

The generated application-specific password is only shown once, when I create it. I cannot view it again. So I need the Flashcards Deluxe app to save my password (locally). Otherwise, I have to delete the old application-specific password, create a new one, paste it into the app, and resync to Google Docs every time I want to sync to my account.

Please at least add the option to save passwords.

Hi Arthaey,

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll look into the two-step process you mentioned. I got something out quick on this, but not quite full featured. As for saving passwords, this adds a little extra complication (since I have to encrypt the password to be safe), but I'll get it added. It will probably be a couple months.

Great. Thanks for the quick reply!

[arthaey]

Will support for this be included in the next release, or is it further out than that?

[Ernie]

Is all you need is for the app to remember your password? My development version does this, and I assume it will make it into the next version, but I don't want to say 100% because using encryption causes complications with submitting apps.

[arthaey]

Yes, saving the password should be enough.

Any progress on saving Google Docs passwords? This still blocks me from being able to use your cool Google Docs import/export feature.

The last update (a month ago or so) had this feature. In the Google Docs area, tap the settings icon and you should see a "Save Password" option. Let me know if you don't.

Great! I see it working now. Thanks so much.
