Comment (by atlgator):

 Actually, my experience has been that Pidgin USED to work with an
 application-specific password.  But then Facebook changed something and it
 stopped working.  I couldn't get online for 2 weeks.  Must have tried 20
 different app-passwords on facebook.com.  Finally tried my original FB
 password and it started working!  Even though I have 2-factor enabled.
 This has worked for three months (since my post above).  Over the last few
 days I started getting authenticate errors with my normal FB password.
 Then I'd receive an SMS from FB that has a # code to enter.  Which I would
 put in Pidgin and it would work.  Except a few hours later I'd get booted
 again.  Then FB password would work again.  Then I'd get the boot.  Then
 it would send me a text with another # password, which would work for a
 little while.  Rinse and repeat.  I keep bouncing back and forth right
 now.  I just tried the app-password thing again and it is DEFINITELY still
 not working for me.  But this weird oscillation between my normal FB
 password and the 2-factor thing is working.  Just a horrible PITA.
 Anybody else seeing this??
