Marketplace Google Account Sudden Authentication Error

I've looked for an answer to this and can't seem to find one. On wife's Droid X I attempted yesterday to go to the marketplace. A sign-in window appears asking for a password. I enter the password and another widow pops up requesting the goofy set of figures be entered. Authentication error message keeps appearing. Others have reported this problem but there's no solution posted that I can see. Anyone?

This usually happens when someone has attempted to log into the account to many times and the the account temporarily disable log on and ask for authentication to verify ot was your account and the correct user to access the account, its just a security feature to verify the device that you are using to access the account...
After you complete the form you are able to access account correctly right?

Hi Guys, I have completely lost access to Gmail and all Google accounts via Firefox - error message "secure connection failed Error code: sec_error_bad_der

I have been a long time Firefox user and this is the first time I am truly baffled. Now if I try to log into gmail or any google account on my main PC I just get an error message as below.

Hi and welcome to the HP Support Community.
Google account sync was disrupted by a change from Google; it was fixed with a patch as described here:

Messages - "A Network Error Occurred" on Google accounts, requires restart

Since upgrading to Yosemite, my iMac has been randomly disconnecting from my Google Jabber accounts (I use two - one for my personal GMail and another for work). In Messages, my status changes to "Offline" for both, and I get the little lightning-bolt icon. Other accounts (AIM, etc.) aren't affected. Clicking that icon on either account gets me the following error:
The weird thing is that while quitting/restarting Messages does nothing (neither does trashing the .plist), restarting the computer fixes it - for a while. This wasn't a problem when running Mavericks or any previous OS.
Thoughts?

Hi,
In Messages > Preferences > Accounts > Google Accounts > Server Setting tab what is the server name listed ?
Mine is talk.google.com
It is using SSL and port 443 (it may read 5223 on yours)
At Google I do not use 2 step Verification but I do have Allow Less Secure apps.
The second is needed as Google have deemed SSL not that secure.
This is accessed on the Google Account Login drop down top right where your name Appear and is then in the Security section.

[ANDROID] Authenticate user with Google Account?

Hello
I'm currently developing in Flash Builder 4.5 (Flex Mobile Project) and I'm about to launch a closed beta, and I'd like to do that by authenticating the testers with their Google Account that they use on their Android phones.
So now I wonder if ther is a way to retrieve their email address that they've setup, that's the only thing I need, and I don't want them to need to type it in or anything.
Any answer that could help me with this will be very appriciated, and you could get in to the beta if you're interested too
Regards!

YouTube app - Authentication Error

I've been researching for over an hour and a half, thinking I've found the answer, only for it to fail. I'm a bit aggravated, and this is my first post here, so forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong area.
Okay... deep breath. Here it goes.
I'm attempting to log in to the YouTube app on my iPhone 4S (with iOS 6.1.2). Every single time I log in, I get that dreadful "Authentication Error" message pop up. I found that apparently I needed to set up a 2-step verification process via my Google account. I did. I then added the YouTube app to the "Application-specific passwords" section. When I attempt to log into the app, it tells me I need to log in with my Google account password - not the password I was just given.
The thing is, I can log in via the mobile site on my iPhone - minus the pesky authentication error! So what's the problem here? What am I missing?
HELP!

I've been having the same issue.
The 2-step verification and app specific password worked for the (non-native) Youtube App on my iPhone 5. But it did not work for the native Youtube app on the iPad.
Very frustrating that I cannot access my subscriptions on the iPad, as that's where I view Youtube the most :S

ALERT: Google account sync broken on webOS devices (and a fix)

MUST READING FOR webOS USERS WHO SYNC CONTACTS WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNTS:
Earlier this week I began having trouble with my Pre3. It spontaneously restarted and pretty much wiped everything. After logging back in to my webOS account, I then began having trouble logging in to my several Google accounts. Each time, I got either an "unknown error" message or a message that my credentials were incorrect.
A very clever webOS developer (consider throwing him some bones if you use his patch...see below) figured out that Google changes to https (whatever that means) were the culprit. I don't understand enough of the jargon to explain it, but the issue seems to effect Google accounts (primarily contacts) which are newly added to a device or re-added after a reset or doctoring your device, more so than accounts that are already on your device.
However, even if your existing gmail and calendar accounts still sync, you are strongly advised to check...Google contact sync is probably broken and you might not realize it. In this condition, contacts which are newly added directly on device will not sync to google servers for backup and syncing with other devices you might have, unless you install the patch below.
I can vouch for that. I had added several new contacts directly on the phone during the past week, but after this week's fun & games, I found that none of the newly added contacts had ever synced to my online Google contacts, which means they didn't sync back down from google's servers onto my other devices.
SO...GO HERE NOW: The patch which is discussed in this linked article on webOS Nation has definitely fixed the sync problem on my Pre3. It requires the use of webOS Quick Install. While you're at it, install Preware using webOS Quick Install, and expand the usability and speed of your webOS device. Then install a Preware app called Internlz Pro which is installed with Preware. Then you email the patch to yourself, click on the attachment, and Internalz Pro installs directly without having to connect to your computer.
Please post back in this thread if this issue has effected your phone or tablet, and if you have any problems installing the patch. I haven't used webOS Quick Install in a long time so I had to figure it out from scratch. I install from a MacBook and it works just fine. There is also an on-device option called Internlz Pro which is installed with Preware directly on the phone...you email the ptch to yourself and Internalz Pro will install it.
HP/Palm had given its support to the webOS Homebrew Community, so let's use this information here to keep these devices healthy. You will find much more detailed informatio in the forum linked above where the patch is located, and how to get webOS Quick Install and PreWare downloads.
I'll also use this experience as a plug for PreWare and the really selfless developers who support our favorite OS and catch stuff like this when it happens, and turn around a patch in a day or two so that the community can benefit.. There are tons of improvements just waiting there for your webOS devices. Tweaks. Patches. Enhancements of all sorts to make your webOS device run faster and jump higher. All free, robust, and ready to keep webOS cool and relevant for many more years, for a lot of users.
No particular skills or knowledge are needed to take advantage of PreWare. The directions are very simple. You already have the hardware. This experience shows me that the webOS homebrew community still has some dedicated and pretty darned skilled developers at work for the sheer joy and pride (and a few $$ should someone toss them a few) of keeping their...our...beloved webOS alive.

Thank you soooooo much for the direction to the fix. Worked on both my phone and TP. I thought I was going to have to get rid of them but finally someone made them work.
Awesome...very happy to help others keep these wonderful devices working. The developers who are hanging in to keep bringing us updates and new functionality are the ones who really deserve our thanks. I wish I knew how to do what they do.

Google account no longer recognized in any app

My google account is no longer recognized. I can't access the market. When I try it says "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?" When I press yes, I just get sent back to the home screen. I can't access gmail through the actual gmail app. When I try to open it, I can see it tries to show me a message, but it immediately bumps me back to the home screen. Yet the mail app itself seems to be working perfectly fine. Almost all of my contacts have been deleted. The only ones that show up are ones that didn't for whatever reason sync with my actual google account (even the preinstalled numbers for verizon are gone).
I've tried restarting the phone. Pulled the battery out. I cleared out cached data from the market app. I've tried syncing my google account in various spots (in settings, in the mail app). This phone has been the bane of my existence, to the point that if I can't get this fixed in the next day, I will be returning it.

@gfpumpkins
Its very upsetting to have market errors and a error with your Google account syncing. I want to fix this with your help immediately. Thank you for all the troubleshooting you have already done.
Can you see your contacts on Gmail from a laptop or PC? If its a error that was caused by an application, I would recommend a hard reset. Please make sure your device is backed up prior to resetting. Here's a link for the hard reset.
It may be caused by the market experiencing an error while updating. Several of our customers have downloaded from the browser "market apk " and this has fixed the issue.
Please let me know if you still experience any errors and I'll gladly further troubleshoot with you.
Thank you

Unable to add google account since Mavericks update

Since dowloaing the 10.9.1 update, I have been unable to add or update my google account (including in system preferences, mail app and in the calendar) with error messages such as "unable to sign in at this time" and "a connection error occured". I deleted my google account with the hope of re-adding it error- free, although now I'm unable to even re-add the account.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?

Merci, Lionel. Votre suggestion a fonctionné!

ICal not connecting to Google Calendar - HTTP 404 error

Hi there
I've just bought my first Mac, and I'm running Mountain Lion, just updated to 10.8.1. When I set the system up, I fed in the details of my Google account, and it merrily put my Gmail into the Mail app, and Notes also syncs. But, the Calendar app is giving me continual problems, with this same error message:
"Your calendar couldn't be refreshed.
The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user///calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct."
I've tried deleting and re-adding the Google calendar; the whole Google account; the iCloud account (because various fourms seem to think this is an issue) and none of it has helped. Any suggestions?
Thanks

From an email from Google Enterprise support. This is encouraging. The fix I found (clear Calendar caches) was temporary. It lasted about an hour before I started getting the oddities again. Problem is definitely with Google Apps. Who really knows though . . . could be something in Apple's programming too.
"Thank you for your patience while we work with your issue.
"At this time I’m in close consultation with a higher level support department. We are currently working on this issue. I’ll be updating you as soon as I hear back from them. I wish you have a great day."

Authentication Error while Sending Email from SMTP server.

Authentication Error while Sending Email from SMTP server. Can receive emails but cannot send emails from this account.

no email account was setup on the phone unless it was issued by your company.
gmail is required but no server address ports to enter.
my gmail account was setup before i took delivery of the phone but could have been done when phone was activated.
i added cox pop3 email and had to manually enter both pop3 and smtp servers with both boxes checked on both servers.
i doubt if it's a verizon issue.

Having trouble with Google 2 factor authentication and Mac Calendar

Hello! I recently started using Google 2-factor authentication on my Google Apps (Pro) account, and have successfully configured my gmail settings in OS X Mail so that inbound/outbound work correctly. Here's where the problem is: OS X uses a single password in the system account settings for calendar/contacts/notes, etc, so enter the login/password once and check the boxes for what services you want to use. But Google sees these as distinctly different apps, so when I enter an app-specific password, it only registers for one (i.e.: contacts), but not for another or the rest of them (like calendar). Has anyone had experience in setting this up? How can you get app-specific passwords to work with the rest of the OS X system applications besides mail?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, I already tried this several times prior to posting here. The system won't let me add the same account more than once, and continues to prompt me for a password multiple times for each service.

Every time I launch Mail.app my server gets STMP authentication error

From my server STMP log file:
2015-02-23 15:48:57 plain authenticator failed for 77-173-xxx-xxx.ip.telfort.nl (mbp.home) [77.173.xxx.xxx]: 535 Incorrect authentication data (set_id=username)
For some reason Mail.app tries to connect to the STMP server but doesn't properly authenticate. It does seem to set the username but not a valid password so the log files on my SMTP server are filled with these errors. Even worse brute force detection automatically blocks the ip address in the firewall because of this after 10 attempts. It's not just me, many other customers that use a mac have the same problem (I notice this because they call me for not being able to connect because of the blacklisting by the brute force scanner)
How can I fix this? Why does Mail.app try to connect without proper authentication?

No. You said to Change the authentication setting for the account on the client to one that the server supports. But I already have that. Sending mail works just fine, but for some reason Mail.app still causes authentication errors on launch and periodically about every 10 minutes
