Dunno about iOS, but Chrome does on the desktop; it asks you for an application-specific password when you turn on sync.

  OK, but it should be asking your for an authenticator code instead. It uses this bizarre "normal password + app specific password" requirement that isn't used anywhere else.

    Your data is encrypted with the normal password, so it needs it to decrypt the sync data. The App-specific password is used to log in to the server to GET the sync data in the first place.

      So again, why not have the authenticator instead of the app password?
