Suddengly the password for 1 of my gmail accounts gets refused?

Hi
I have about 4 email accounts set up in my Mail app, been using these 4 accounts for over 5 years now, they belong to me and the kids, we rather share one user and stay simple,
suddenly today, out of left field i am asked for my password, over and over and over, i deleted the account, re set it up in the mail accounts via its preferences, nothing has changed, i tested the password in both Safari and Firefox, all works fine, even our iPhones have the same exact set up and all the emails arrived fine, no problemo,
I am looking all over the net to find out how or why this took place, in fact i was the only person using the computer for the last few weeks, the kids have their iphones and actually did not come near it while going to school, so nothing was changed over the last few weeks to of caused this, not even a update,
would love to know if anyone else had this happen to them or how i can solve it, every time i re create a gmail account i get the same exact errors:
The Google IMAP server “imap.gmail.com” rejected the password for user “[email protected]”
Enter your password again or cancel.
iMac 27 i7 12gb ram, 100gb free,

suddengly it works now

  • I recently forgot the password for my iTunes UK account with 100 pounds of credit. I called apple and said no one could help me if I did not know the security questions. Really?

    For a forgotten password: go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    For forgotten security questions log in at http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Password and Security' in the sidebar. There should be a link in the Security Questions section to send the answers to an email you have specified. Failing this, go to https://getsupport.apple.com click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'.

  • I can no longer send emails from my iPad after changing the passwords for my BT Yahoo account on my iMac

    I changed my passwords for my BT Yahho email on my iMac following  my accouts being hacked.  Email works fine on my iMac, and I receive emails OK on my iPad, but cannot send them from the iPad.  Am not sure what to do.  I found the BT help pretty useless.  Any suggestions please?

    Did you go deep enough into the settings? Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • I just changed my apple password for iTunes.  Is it now the password for all apple related accounts, like mail, iCloud, etc.?

    When you change your Apple password, does the same password apply to itunes, mail, icloud etc. or do they all have separate passwords?

    It's the same account and password - iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, Game Center, stores.
    You may need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated password so as to 'refresh' the account on it, and for Cloud.
    There is an 'Update your settings for devices and services that need your Apple ID password' section on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446 (the page is about resetting a password, but the principle is the same)

    which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it? Was the password for an administrative user account, or for a standard user account, or was it a firmware password?

  • TS2602 So all of a sudden iWeb is asking me to "Enter the password for "ftp@mywebsite.co.uk" ...

    So all of a sudden iWeb is asking me to "Enter the password for "[email protected]" when I try to publish changes I've made.
    I have no idea what this is? It was about 5years ago I made the website and set it up.
    Can anyone help or suggest where I can find this password or reset it...?
    Much appreciated.
    Cheers.
    Oliver.

    You're being asked for the password for your online hosting account. Where are you hosting your website?  Contact customer support for the hosting service you're using to get the password and user ID to use.

  • Keychain Issue for the password for my mac account.

    Keychain Issue. Keeps asking for the password for my mac account. When i type it, i keep getting "rejected the password. But it is the correct one. Verified in keychain access. "The .Mac server 'mail.mac.com' rejected the password for user XXXXXXXX. Please reenter your password, or cancel."
    Thanks in advance
    don

    But may I ask why you're using separate servers for in & out?
    I don't know the answer to that. For many years, it's always been set up like that. I have never changed anything.
    Should i delete the .mac mail account & set it up again? If so, What servers should i use for incoming & outgoing?
    Keep in mind i'm having the same issue on my desktop & laptop, both running tiger 10.4.11, as far as they will upgrade.
    I do have a laptop running Lion, but that shows an icloud account, not a .mac account like the older computers. It also has a bellsouth account with the password that is correct and a gmail account which is working fine.

  • HT1695 What is an Exchange account? When I open the email app I get the message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange""

    What is an Exchange account? When I open the email app I get the message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange""

    An Exchange account is an e-mail account serviced my a Microsft Exchange server... Typically a corporate e-mail account. It used to be possible to configure a free gmail account as an Exchange account, but it is no longer possible to set one up that way.

  • How to End the Error message: "enter the password for the exchange account"

    i completed configure Exchange Account on my iPhone, but still show the error message:  "enter the password for the exchange account"

    make sure you don't have 2 step verification in gmail.
    otherwise you need to follow
    Signing in using application-specific passwords
    The codes that you’ll get with 2-step verification don’t work with all applications. There are a few applications that use information from your Google Account (like the Gmail application on your phone, or Outlook) that require another type of code. These are called application-specific passwords.
    Some devices and applications that use these special passwords include:
    POP and IMAP email clients such as Outlook, Mail and Thunderbird
    Gmail and Google Calendar on smartphones
    ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone
    YouTube Mobile on Apple devices
    Cloud Print
    Installed chat clients such as Google Talk and Adium
    3D Warehouse, Sketchup, and installed applications
    AdWords Editor
    Sync for Google Chrome
    Gmail Notifier
    How to generate an application-specific password
      Unlike a verification code that you receive from your phone or through Google Authenticator, application-specific passwords are generated. You don’t have to memorize them, ever - you simply generate a new one each time you need to sign into a particular application. Follow the steps below to generate your application-specific password: 
    Visit the Authorizing applications & sites page (pictured below) under your Google Account settings.
    Under the Application-specific passwords section, enter a descriptive name for the application (label 1) you want to authorize, such as "AdWords Editor – Desktop," then click “Generate application-specific password" (label 2).
    You'll then see the application-specific password you just created (3). You'll also see the name you wrote in for the device (4) and a link to Revoke (5) -- or cancel -- the code.
    Once you click Done, you’ll never see that application-specific code again. But don't panic: You can generate a new one whenever you’re prompted for an application-specific password by a non-browser device or application -- even a device or application you’ve authorized before.
    Using application-specific passwords
    When prompted for a password when you sign in to a non-browser application or device that accesses your Google Account:
    Enter your username.
    Enter your application-specific password in the password field.
    If your application has an option to remember your application-specific password or stay signed in, you can select that option so you won’t have to generate and enter a new application-specific password each time you access your account from this application or device.

  • I don't know the password for the SMTP account so as to mail photos.  How can I retrieve or change the password?

    I am unable to share photos from the Iphoto program because I don't know the password for the SMTP account.  How can I either retrieve or change that password?  Or is it one I already should know?

    Have you set the general preferences in iPhoto to email using iPhoto? Then change it to email using "Mail". This way iPhoto will use your regular Mail account.

  • I had to change e-mail addresses and no longer remember my iCloud password for my old iTunes account. My iOS wont let me delete the old account without the password, how can I troubleshoot this? I tried my new password with no luck

    I had my iTunes account synced with an old e-mail account. I no longer remeber my password for this account and no longer have access to this e-mail account. I was able to change my information to a new e-mail in iTunes and iCloud with no trouble but my iOS device keeps asking me for the password to my old iTunes account which I can't remember. It defaults the e-mail reset password to the account I can no longer access and also says the date of birth I am entering does not match the records they have... I'm so confused, and I really dont get how my birthday is wrong? When trying to delete the account all together from iOS it asks again for the password...can anyone help me? Thanks!

    Is your phone still signed in with your old iTues ID for iCloud (in Settings>iCloud)?

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

    Hi there.
    I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
    Hence:
    I lost my password for my original iTunes account
    I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
    How can I access my old account?
    Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
    There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
    What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
    Cheers!

    If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.
