Here's how an attacker can bypass Google’s two-step login verification and gain full control of your account by capturing a user’s application-specific password ASP.

We think it’s a rather significant hole in a strong authentication system if a user still has some form of “password” that is sufficient to take over full control of his account. However, we’re still confident that — even before rolling out their fix — enabling Google’s 2-step verification was unequivocally better than not doing so.
 
Google login has become a big pain in the ass, especially if you have multiple accounts.
