What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enable two-factor auth on a gmail account
2. Run upload.py
3. Enter this gmail account and a password (not an "app-specific password")
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It suggests "use an app-specific password instead". I would prefer it to
recommend --oauth2.
What browser are you using? What version? On what operating system?
Browser n/a; OSX 10.10
At what URL are you accessing Rietveld? codereview.appspot.com
Please provide any additional information below.
"App-specific passwords" are inconvenient and a security risk (they allow full
access to the account; they are not actually constrained to a particular app).
It would be better in most cases to recommend re-running with the --oauth2 flag
instead of suggesting an app-specific password. (I would also support making
--oauth2 the default, but that's a more contentious change than updating the
error message).
