North, are you using the key entry page from Menu -> Manually add account?
The Key that it wants is not your Google account password. It is the key
given to you during 2factor setup, such as from
https://www.google.com/accounts/b/0/SmsAuthConfig
This key is a base 32 string (RFC 4668/3548) that represents the HOTP
secret key.
