Google Plugin for Eclipse Can't Log In to Google

Question

Google Plugin for Eclipse does does allow me to sign in. I click to greyed out sign in button, enter my credentials, and I get an error (below). I'm using Eclipse 4.3 with Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.3 version 3.4.2.

Here is the error log from Eclipse:

Could not sign in. Make sure that you entered the correct verification code.

Answer 2

Uninstalling and reinstalling the GPE plugin, same version, fixed the problem temporarily, but returned after a while. This is clearly a bug.
