  With the username and password that you have, can you sign into your gmail account online?

No problem signing in through the internet, just wont sync, wont accept

password when it tries to sync

Hi Dorofam!


Oh no! Sounds like you have been through quite a lot to get this to work. Let's get this fixed. Google recently released a new verification process for Gmail accounts that allows the account to become more secure.  The process is called 2-step verification, 2- step verification allows the customer to ONLY sign into certain Gmail programs with their normal password.  Other applications requires the user to actually go onto a website to create a temporary password "the link is provided below" (https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?passive=1209600&continue=https://accounts.google.com/Issued....

Thanks,
