Comment (by JeffPaul):

 This seems to line up well with @georgestephanis's
 [https://georgestephanis.wordpress.com/2013/08/14/two-cents-on-two-factor/
 My Two Cents on Two Factor post]:
 > * For systems where the user cannot be prompted for a two-factor auth
 code (XMLRPC, etc), disallow their normal password for authentication, and
 force them to use a generated application password that is stored in
 usermeta.
 > * For systems where the user can be prompted for a two-factor auth code
 (wp-login.php) don’t permit the use of application passwords.
