Could not sign in...

Unable to sign in with existing google account. Might be because i use 2 step verification. Credentials are correct as I am currently logged in through the browser.

Running Ubuntu 12.04 - with Cinnamon.

I am having the same problem, I can sign in fine with a normal username/password, but my main account uses Google's two factor authentication.

If you use 2-step verification, create an application-specific password for Lightread.
