Google requires 2-step authorization as a prerequisite to application specific
passwords on their system. It is not phrased as a recommendation, but I don't
know if it is enforced with code or not.
Anyway, I didn't want to test it, but I may have now spent more time reading /
writing about it that I would have testing it. Maybe tomorrow (but maybe
not).

No -- from a purely logical point of view (afaics) there is no reason to
connect them -- Google apparently has some reason that I have not seen
disclosed (I didn't look very hard for it).
