Is it possible to authenticate GTalk differently than storing GMail password? #757

Suggestion: Is there a way to authenticate GVoice or GTalk via Google App 
authentication API rather than storing Gmail password?
Hete to see your database got stolen :(
Thanks,

You could use a second account.

You mean using a second gmail account that one does not care about?
That still not solve the problem, a cleaner way to do is to use Google App 
authentication so that the gmail owner will approve the app connection for 
gvoice service without actually need to log into the gmail account.

authenticating via OAuth would be profoundly better when possible with Google 
Voice

For many people, a Google account is not just email, but Checkout, Android 
Market, Docs, Music, Picasa, Calendar, Voice, Google+, and more. That master 
password is a working key to one's Google kingdom and with it, a thief could 
deplete a sipdroid user's bank accounts and wreak a lot of havoc. 

Please consider marking this a higher priority.

Technically speaking, this is the PBXES.ORG problem rather than Sipdroid. Not 
sure what is the relationship between Sipdroid and PBXES.ORG but it would be a 
huge plus if the authentication method could be fixed son one don't have to 
hand over the main password to 3rd party.
