Google's 2 step verification

If you knowingly hand your password in clear text to a third party then it doesn't matter how good the security or password encryption methods are - you're the weak link!

Also, you can't re-use an already assigned application password with another application can you. If you assign a pass to Talk for iPhone then try to use the same application password for another iPhone App that logs in via your Google account, that won't work?

Google doesn't know why you created the app-specific password so it will authenticate regardless of which application presents the password.

I don't. But lets say there is a database where my user information needs to be stored. The database is encrypted, but if the holder of the database has been hacked, it is likely that they will also have access to the private key needed to decrypt the database.

All I am simply saying is that it would be nice to control what each password has access to...so i can give a password access to google talk alone.
