How do you deploy with OAuth2 from the GAE Launcher?

Question

I'm trying to deploy my GAE app with the handy launcher, but as my account uses 2-factor authentication, it's being a little difficult:

Password for <me>@gmail.com: Use an application-specific password 
instead of your regular account password.
See http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=185833
However, now the recommended way to log in is using OAuth2. See 
https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadinganapp#oauth

At the above webpage I'm instructed to simply throw --oauth2 in the options to appcfg.py:

appcfg.py --oauth2 update myapp/

If I was on the command line, it would be straightforward, but if I'm using the GAE Launcher, how can I use OAuth2? The only place I see to add command-line options is for running the app locally, not deployment.

Answer 1

You need to create an application specific password for this to work - that will mean you can deploy applications using a username/password combination.
