Hi all,

After enabling two factor authentication for my google account, which was 
nice, using the Google Authenticate app my gmail app on my android phone 
broke, as expected. I followed this page:

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en&ctx=ch_b%2F0%2FSmsAuthSettings

and created an access token for my app. I went back to my phone, typed in 
my app password from the above link, and was then redirected to the sign in 
page where I was then prompted to enter my google account password.

I use keepass to store all of my passwords, as my google account one 
specifically is 300 characters long. For some reason, and this is the only 
page that won't let me do it, I cannot PASTE the password into the password 
field. I can do it on the browser and in the first step from above, which 
is what I had to do when I disabled (begrudingly) the 2FA, so this looks to 
be a limitation of the native app itself.

Are there any workarounds to this? Can the gmail android app get an update 
to allow pasting in the password field? I'd rather not dumb down my 
password due to this.
