Gmail password problem

After reading all the stuff about Mat Honan getting hacked, I decided to turn on 2-step verification and change my gmail password. This has proved disastrous. I can no longer acces my gmail through the native mail app on my iPhone.
I looked through all the forums and apparently the 2-step verification was a part of the problem. So, I turned that off. Guess what...I still can't get on. But only on the native mail app on the iphone. If I use Safari, I can log in fine on my iPhone. I can log in fine here on my computer. It's just in the mail app. Any ideas anyone?
I've deleted the account all together and tried to re-add the account. I've reset network settings (out of frustration, not thinking that would actually help). I've done all I can think to do. Please help!

I am new to 1Phone. Last night my phone was working fine with my Gmail account last night, but, today I am getting a password error. I have logged in using my computer to veerify the password and it works fine. I logged in using Safari and it worked fine there also. I cant figure this out. I am not tech saavy and I don't understand the "two step authentication" stuff. Any help would be appreciated. P.S. I have updated my iPhone4 to the new iOS5.

IOS 8.3 and Invalid Gmail passwords

Greetings! Ever since I updated my Ipad with IOS 8.3 my Gmail passwords are not working. This is on my IPAD Air. My Note 2 and Windows 8.1 laptop are working fine using the same passwords. This has been going on since this morning.
There is obviously a problem. Is there a solution?

That may have something to do with iOS 8.3 support for Google (gmail) 2 factor authentication. I've heard some have successfully "fixed" it by restarting the device. If that doesn't resolve it, try deleting and adding back your gmail account.

Thunderbird won't accept comcast email to send most of the time, also gmail password most of the time

Sorry. I hit something and ended up on beginning page. No idea if you got the previous one of these. Put into search why won't thunderbird accept my password. Up came a messed up version of my comcast email password. My gmail password was not addressed. Since I used the singular for password, that could be why. Since a friend of mine somehow changed some thing, I could both send and get in to see my email using both passwords - comcast and gmail. Before that I could not get in nor send with neither the comcast nor the gmail passwords. First, I wonder what he changed. Second, did he mess it up further and make it much harder to fix? What is strange is when he changed what ever he changed, for a short time afterword, I could both send and get in to see the email using both , then it went to see email only with both passwords and not send with either one I really am sorry I had him work on it, but some how I did not find this system to ask questions. I made several attempts; however, only found articles. Actually, I found this by accident and am not sure I could it again. Would you please tell me how to get to this system? I tend to be verbose. I hope not too much so. Thank you for your volunteer time and effort. I truly hope this does not a lot of hassle to fix or tell me how if that is the way it is done. If I have to do it, please make it simple.

I am having the same problem. I have an ipod touch that worked fine up until the 4.0 firmware. The only thing I have noticed with mine that it was glitchy when it came to sending mail (which I use yahoo). Then most recently it stopped sending altogether. My isp is verizon & I have an airport extreme. I noticed today I can bounce off of a neighbors linksys wifi. Now I have no clue who their isp is. It's either verizon or comcast. Regardless I was able to send mail using their internet. Mine on the other hand is a no go.
I too am *extremely frustrated*. I have deleted my mail accts several times in hopes of it fixing the problem. I also updated to the latest firmware of 4.1 in hopes of it resolving the issue. I even tried using other smtp servers with no luck.
I hope someone out here has a solution to this problem. It is very frustrating.

Gmail Password Reset

I'm hoping someone can help!
Until today, I was receiving and sending emails on my BlackBerry just fine. This morning, I thought it was a good time to change my gmail password, and did so on my laptop. Then noticed I wasn't getting my emails and realized I hadn't changed it on my BB (duh). When I went into Email Settings and re-entered the new password, it told me that my password is incorrect and if the problem persists to contact gmail.com.
I contacted my service provider for tech support (should'a known better!) and they supposedly deleted my email account from my device so that I could reassign my email address onto my phone using the updated password. According to them, this should have reset everything and allowed me to start fresh. No such luck, still doesn't work.
Curve 9300 3G
v5.0.0.832 Bundle 1399 Platform 6.3.0.31
Tried a battery pull
Tried deleting the account from my BlackBerry
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

tannd, i figured it out. from the home screen, click on setup, then emal settings. use the blackberry logo key (left click?). If validate is an option, choose it and enter your new password. If you don't need validation, select edit and input your new password. voila! i'm a total tech nepophite, so am totally psyched that i figured this out good luck!

TS3276 changing gmail password in Apple mail

I would like to change my gmail password in Apple mail. I was able to chage the gmail password on the goggle web site but it the same password was not accepted in Apple Mail.

Problem solved, I deleted the 2 step verification in google and my password was accepted in Apple mail.
NOW
When I installed the last mailbox, I noted a lot of "Mail Activity" and several hundred messages were incoming. In my mailboxes, I see the names of the mailboxes but there is no numbers next to them indicating the number of emails in the box. I also see that there are about 200 junk emails, several of then are not junk
Any suggestions. Hopefully the screen shot comes thru

Gmail connection problems with iPhone 5C

I cannot connect to Gmail with a new iPhone 5c (8GB, iOS 8.1.2, carrier is Verizon). Have had no problems connecting to Gmail with previous iPhone 4 for last two years; have had this new problem with two different 5c phones in the last week since I upgraded the phone. Verizon supplied a 2nd 5c phone when they could not resolve the problem with the first one, but the results have been the same.
The specific message I get when entering my Gmail password is "cannot connect to imap.gmail.com".
Gmail access is fine when using my Windows computer, and my iPad. I have signed out of my Gmail account on my computer and signed in with the same password, with no problems.
Verizon has tried the following troubleshooting, with no success:
- Gmail account was listed in settings/mail,contacts,calendars/Gmail on phone when I initially restored new phone after activation (email address and password were both listed) but still got "cannot connect ...." message when tried to access email and password was requested.
- changed IMAP to POP
- deleted email account on phone, powered off phone, then added account back
- initial problem was with as-supplied software 8.1.1; tried after upgrade to 8.1.2
Gmail can be accessed using the Gmail app for iPhone, but cannot be accessed using the email icon on the phone; to activate the Gmail app, I have entered my email and password, and it was accpted without a problem.
Calendar function has mixed results when connecting to my Gmail-based calendar; it did not work for a while but now has worked for a while.

With the Gmail app or with Gmail open in Safari or using the native iPhone mail app?

Email password problem!!

I've had this macbook for about 1-1/2 years and for the first year or so had no email-related problems. However, for the past 6 months or so, I have password problems relating to one of my email accounts. Several times per day (even several times per minute), I will get a message on the screen something like this: The incoming mail server incoming.verizon.net has rejected the password for the account (my personal email account). Please re-enter the correct password. There is a little checkbox "remember this password in my keychain". Doesn't matter whether I check this box or not, five minutes later the message is there again.
I have gone to Preferences/Accounts, deleted and re-entered the password, but it has no effect. I have three other email accounts on this macbook that are unaffected.
Can anyone help? I'm getting reeeaaaalllly frustrated.

Hi there!
OK--some confusion here. There are two types of accounts to discuss -- your BIS account and your email accounts.
BIS is Blackberry Internet Service, the service, hosted by your carrier, that provides the conduit between your BB and your internet facing email services (e.g., Yahoo, Gmail, etc.). BIS has credentials for accessing it.
Your email accounts likewise have their own credentials. These credentials are stored within BIS so that it can, without your intervention, check your email services and see if there's anything to deliver to your BB...and do so if there is.
The screen you described sounds like your BIS credentials screen -- those credentials are whatever they are. And probably not the same as your email account credentials. You need to know what your BIS credentials are..they are yours. If you don't know them, then you need to contact your carrier for assistance as they manage your BIS account.
Good luck and let us know!

Outlook 2011 keeps forgetting Gmail passwords

For some reason Outlook 2011 keeps forgetting passwords. It only forgets Gmail passwords, not Hotmail or other accounts. It seems to happen irregularly every one or two weeks. Any idea why this happens or how to stop it?
cheers
Robin

I, too, use Outlook 2011 and will occasionally get a message that indicates, both on my Gail accounts and on my iCloud account, that no connection can be made and would I like to reenter my password. I just click "No" and, lo and behold, my mail comes pouring in. I don't think that it's a problem with Outlook - I think that with IMAP accounts there are just occasional 'hiccups' on the server side.

Gmail password retrieval

Hello..
For whatever reason, my MacPro "lost" my gmail password. My other 2 apple platforms: iPhone 4S and iPad 2 still remembers it...but it is of course, encoded and I cannot read it.
Problem is, I cannot recall my password as my son set up my gmail on all of my Apple products and he is unavailable.
I checked Google but nothing re: Lion can be found.
Has my MacPro saved my gmail password anywhere?
Gmail asks so many questions to reset my password...the only answer I know for sure is my maiden name. But that is not sufficient to reset my password.
Please help! Thanks

Does she remember the email she used? If she does she can reset. If you forgot your Apple ID password
If she forgets apple ID, she can also use this. https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
Make sure to check your spam folder in your email as well. Also check your Rescue email for account retrieval as well Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
If those fail, contact Apple Support Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Have just bought an ipad but have forgotten my gmail password. I have used this gmail account for my apple id, if I set up a new email account on the ipad , do I have to change this apple id. Am a very confused novice!!!

I have recently bought an Ipad but have forgotten my gmail password that I use on my Mac. I have used this email as my apple ID. If I now set up a new email account on my Ipad, do I have to change my apple ID as well as my apple password! HELP A VERY CONFUSED NOVICE!!!

On your Mac, try to access your gmail account. There should be a link you click for "Forgot My Password". Click it and try to retrieve your password.
 Cheers, Tom

Calendar will not sync with Google calendar. Won't accept my Gmail password.

iPhone 5s 16GB (2.9 GB free), iOS 8.1.3
When I attempt to enter an event in Calendar, I get a message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Gmail account "Gmail'".
But when I try to enter my Gmail password, the app won't accept it and the same message appears. And entries don't show up on my Google calendar..
I tried turning off calendars in iCloud but that didn't help. Also turned off all calendars
This is not an operating system issue - keeps happening through several iOS updates.

Correction: Turned off all calendars in calendar app other than Google calendar for my Gmail account.
