I've set up two factor authentication wherever possible (Google, Dropbox, Lastpass, etc). Any tips on dealing with this and flashing new ROMs? My plan was to temporarily disable them, flash, then enable. Any better solution out there?

I've got it set up for my 2 (of 4) more sensitive gmail accounts. Not a huge pain when doing a clean flash.. just log in and remove the old authorizations / create a new one. Adds like a minute to my flashing process overall. Disabling and re-enabling it sounds cumbersome and not like such a great idea. Also I thought when you re-enabled it you basically would have to create new authorizations/device-specific passwords anyway.
 
I have a total of 8 various accounts I use 2 factor on. But I realized I could go through and load them on my Nexus 7, which I keep stock anyway. So that will be my primary authenticator. And you're right, once you get the hang of it, it goes very quickly.

On to AOKP, build 1 for my GNex!
