Google Add 2-step verification, you may experience network or timed-out Errors in your Android, BlackBerry, iPhone or other smartphone devices, because Google 2-step verification is not yet compatible with the applications running on those devices. To sign-in to your Google account normally from those devices you must generate an application-specific password.
- To generate Google application-specific password, just go to https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens, enter a desired name and click generate password button.

- On the next screen you should find a randomly generated password, you don't need to memorize this password.

- Now go to your device screen and enter your usual Google username and enter your new application-specific passwords instead of your usual Google password. You should be able to access your Google account from your device now.
