2fa with chrome sync is a PITA. I've found the best way to enable sync is to login to gmail which usually triggers a dialog that asks you whether you want to use those credentials for chrome sync.
Yet another example how horrible this "ecosystem" craze everyone seems to be enamored by these days quickly becomes. Why the fuck do I need to sign up with Gmail to use something in chrome? (How would it even work? I moved from google apps to fastmail, so my MX records are all different now.)
It's the same with most RSS readers nowadays... every single app I've tried assumes I have a Google Reader account, and flat out refuses to work without it. Same with Google Talk. All these apps implement rss/xmpp backends anyway, why do they hardcode google into it?
Sorry for the rant, it's just frustrating how (needlessly) difficult it is once you go outside the sanctioned path. Death by a thousand cuts.
