users with google [2-step verification](http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/static.py?hl=en&guide=1056283&page=guide.cs&answer=180744&rd=3) (aka two-factor auth) enabled need to use an [application-specific password](http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1032419) with lantern rather than their master google password. if they enter their correct master google password, lantern currently will tell them it's a bad password. lantern should instead prompt them to generate a new app-specific password for lantern and use that one. see google chrome sync sign-in for an example.
