TS3899 While messing with my two step verification I inadvertinely did something to disconnect myself from my gmail account that is on my mac mail.  I can't send or receive any mail

while messing with my two step verification on my gmail account I inadvertently did sometime to my gmail account on my Mac mail.  I can't send or receive mail.  Any thoughts

When it asks for the password, typically this is a random number sent to you via text message from Google.  I get a new code everytime I want to add a new device or log into from a new computer.  It can get very annoyingif you access your account from various computers or devices.  Once its working its not bad though.  You may want to go back in and turn the 2 step authentication off.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    No, using an iCloud email account will not affect any other mail account you have in your mail application. You can continue to use them as you have always done.

    Try resetting all network settings, or turn the airplane mode on then off, or restarting the device itself
    if all else fails, do a restore (Back-up everything before doing this)
    if it still fails, contact apple or your wireless carrier.

  • Emails that I send from my yahoo account are being sent from my gmail account - I checked to see in Mail preferences if I had set gmail as my preferred server ( I had not).  This has happened on my iMac and Macbook Pro - both running on Yosemite.

    Emails sent from my Yahoo account are arriving from my Gmail account?! How? This has only started happening today.

  • Gmail won't work in Mail with two step verification.

    I have been hacked several times with google's email service by people in China and I decided to try their two step verification to add some security. But when I try to add the account on my mac mail list it says that it is offline and the app specific password doesn't work. I have changed the app specific password three times and all of them don't work. Please help!

    Eliminate Mail by testing in Postbox and MailMate. Both have demos.
    http://www.postbox-inc.com/
    http://freron.com 
    If you cannot set an app specific password for these apps then the problem is with your account. It's difficult to actually get Gmail support so your best option might be to delete this account. Set up a new account with two step authentication immediately.
    You also have other options for getting a free email account. Set up an Apple iCloud email or get an Outlook.com (previously Hotmail.com, Live.com, MSM.com).
    Whatever you do you need to do the two step authentication.

  • Mail and Gmail two-step verification

    For the last several days I've been encountering an issue with Mail.app and gmail where my application specific password is valid for one day only. This is not the case for the application specific password I have set up to work with Mail on my iPhone or any other apps. I have used two step verification successfully for months until one day, inexplicably, I was alerted that my password was incorrect. As I mentioned, this happens now on a daily basis.
    For what it's worth, I've tried what's listed in this thread to no avail.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15206873
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi All,
    I used to have that sort of problem,
    first you could go to the connection doctor on you mac (it's on your 'Window' - > 'Connection Doctor' )
    then check if your google account 'Smtp tab ' and 'Imap tab '  are all on the green light 
    If one of it is not connected ( Which means 'red' light ) , here is my solution .
    Go  your keychain access ( comman + space 'keychain' )
    click tab 'LOGIN'
    On the search tab Find either SMTP/IMAP  (Depend which got the red light) 
    There will be several accounts shown up if you have multiple email account registered on you mac mail.
    find manually the account of your gmail account (Double click each one of it to check which account it )
    Check again if you have 2 key chain on one single account
    After you find your google account on your key chain  and check the box "SHOW PASSWORD"
    Change the password according to the google 2 step verification password
    click save changes .  (enter your admin password)
    Hope this will help

  • Ios8 upgrade with two step verification

    I have and iPhone 5 and two step verification in place.  When I first upgraded to iOS 8 the upgrade process asked for my verification number.  I first chose iPhone, but I did not get a code.  I then went back and selected SMS to the phone number that I was upgrading.  Then the upgrade went though without me entering anything.  I'm assuming that iOS 8 just read my SMS message and went through with the upgrade.  I'm about to do the same with my daughter's (she has her own Apple ID and two step verification) iPhone 4s and I assume that it will work the same way?
    I could not find any detailed information on Apple's web site pertaining to this.

    Hi Les,
    If you've been asked to wait, I would try going back through the process to start two-step verification as described here:
    Apple ID: Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    Set up two-step verification at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com):
    Select "Manage your Apple ID" and sign in.
    Select "Password and Security."
    Under Two-Step Verification, select Get Started and follow the onscreen instructions.
    That article also explains why you had to wait, in case you were at all curious:
    Why was I asked to wait before setting up two-step verification?
    As a basic security measure, Apple does not allow two-step verification setup to proceed if any significant changes have recently been made to your account information. Significant changes can include a password reset or new security questions. This waiting period helps Apple ensure that you are the only person accessing or modifying your account. While you are in this waiting period, you can continue using your account as usual with all Apple services and stores.
    Apple will send an email to all the addresses you have on file notifying you of the waiting period and encouraging you to contact Apple Support if you think that someone else has unauthorized access to your account. You will be able to return to set up two-step verification after the date listed on your Apple ID account page and in the email that you receive.
    Note: When your waiting period is over, you will have 30 days to complete two-step verification setup. If you attempt to complete setup after 30 days have passed or if you have made significant changes to your account during that time, another waiting period may be triggered.
    Take care, Les!

  • Two step verification in Canada SMS does not work with Telus

    Just saw the announcement that Two step verification for your Apple account is now available to Canada. 
    http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/05/10/option.will.appear.automatically.in.accou nt.details/
    Tried to sign up, unfortunately after many attempts and testing with a few different phones it appears that Apples SMS server is not connected with Telus mobility as the messages never come through to any of my phones on the Telus network.
    So maybe the announcement is a little premature. 

    False start.
    The option to sign up for two step verification has now been removed again. 
    I guess they have to get the SMS feature working first. 
    Here is a request.  Apple can you implement the industry standard time based authentication protocol:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm
    http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238
    Same one is being used by:
    Google
    Dropbox
    Lastpass
    Microsoft
    Amazon AWS
    Then you can use one of the many apps available for smartphones and support users who want something secure but that does not require SMS or an apple hardware device to login to their apple id.

  • HT5577 Devices and Recovery ID stolen. Unable to access account with two-step verification. Apple does not care. What can I do?

    Last year, my backpack containing my laptop and phone were stolen. My Recovery Key was saved as a screenshot on the laptop and on the phone and I have no other copy. I remotely wiped both devices. I had no insurance for such circumstances and replaced them at my own expense but I cannot access my AppleID account because Two-Step Verification is active and my old telephone number was replaced and I no longer have access to it. I can live with losing the devices as a result of my own stupidity, but Apple claims they are unable to restore my access to my old account in spite of the special circumstances. Apple can confirm my identity via my bank details and my email address but they do not seem to care. I've lost access to my music, software, calendars etc. I have a new AppleID - I had no other option but to set one up - but it irks me that Apple is unwilling to transfer purchases made on my old AppleID to my new one. I am considering taking legal action to regain my purchases and wonder if anybody else has found themselves in a similar situation.

    If apple tracked deviced they sold they would be violating a great number of privicy laws and would face class action and criminal lawsuits in most of the western countries

  • HT5593 How do i get sms support for two step verification in Canada with Telus ?

    i have followed the procedure for setting up two step authentication and the part where it's suppose to send me an sms code is where it fails. the code just never comes. anyone else having this issue ? fyi, im in Canada and using telus.
    i know when they first announced two step verification in Canada sms support was not there but now it's listed specifically for Canada and Telus on Apple support page. so what's the issue ?
    i know Apple has had tons of issues with sms codes outside the US but i figured by now they would get it right so i'm hoping there's just something i'm missing.

    i've even tried putting my sim card into a non-iphone, still no luck.
    Then how on earth is the iPhone the issue????
    Oh wait, it isn't.
    Unbelievable...

  • Alta mail and two step verification not working

    Hello how are you all?
    I am trying to use AltaMail, v5.2  in my Ipad mini with 2steps verification
    It worked fine without the 2 step verification.
    But now that I have reactivate my 2 step verification  My Ipad apps AltaMail keep stating  wrong password for my Gmail account . 
    I have created an  application-specific passwords in Gmail google and entered the password given to me in my AltaMail  Gmail account password box but still still doesn't want to connect...... reason wrong password 
    Contacted app company,  but they too although nice seemed  a bit lost
    any idea

    well, yes, but it let me do the iPad and iPhone
    and isn't the problem you mention that there is a flaw in the "reset my Password" function, which is not two-step verification.
    the 3 day waiting period was always intended for people who have recently made changes to their account, and I think is not part of the concern over the Reset flaw.
    I did not have to wait 3 days for the iPad and iPhone to work.
    I am able at this moment to have it send the unlock verification code to my iPad. I believe two-step verification is currently up and working, except I can't get it turned on for my mini.
    I could be wrong

  • Use two-step verification with AppleTV?

    I have an AppleTV 3rd Generation (rev 2, A1469 running 6.1.1). Since adding two-step verification to my Apple ID, I have been unable to sign into iTunes Store to access my purchased movies and television shows--or even to update the AppleTV software. How do I use the two-step verification with AppleTV?

  • Two step verification broke mail app

    I just activated two step verification and it appears to not be working for mail.  I'm over prompted by the mail program for a two step verification, is simply and repeatedly asks for my password.  It was unclear from the two step verification welcome email if I needed to make a configuration change to my email settings manually.  There appears to be no settings in the mail program to use anything other than a password.  Should I make an app specific password for mail?  Why didn't mail say to do this or the sign up email or the two step verification set up website?  The only apps specifically called out as needed an app-specific password are Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and BusyCal.
    I unfortunately had to turn off two step verification as it rendered email unusable. 
    Andrew

    It would help if you told us what your operating system is. Please always do this as in many cases the answer varies depending on the system.
    If you have set Mail up on Snow Leopard or earlier to access iCloud Mail, and if you have also enabled 2-step verification on your Apple ID, you will find your usual Apple ID password doesn't work. Apple are now requiring app-specific password for third-party applications to access iCloud if you have set up two-step verification (if you haven't set this up you won't be affected).
    Since Mail on Snow Leopard and earlier was not intended to access iCloud you will have to generate a password for it. Go to http://appleid.apple.com; click 'Manage your Apple ID' and sign in (you will be prompted for an access code sent to your trusted device).
    Select 'Password and Security'; click 'Generate an App-Specific Password' and follow the instructions. Once you have the password, copy it and paste it into the password field in the Account settings. You should also keep a note of it (though you can generate a new one if required).
