I just rooted my Nexus S and I am trying to add my Google account back on the phone since everything was wiped during root, but every time I try to log in i get a message telling me that my username and password do not match please try again.
But I am using the same exact username and password that I use on my computer so i know it isn't wrong.
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
If you have turned on two factor authentication for your google account, you would get this problem.
Yeah I realized that a little later last night, issue was fixed when I flashed the ICS Rom and the ICS Google account set up was smart enough to reroute me to the web login.

Hey guys!
A friend of mine bought a HD2 today and is currently trying to setup his gmail account with the automatic settings.. bad thing is that it always asks him for the password! De checked the box to save password but it still asks for it..
any suggestions?
You have to enter the email address in full not just the start, for example
[email protected]
tried everything! he also tried my settings, username and password! on my device it works like a charm but on his.. no chance.. no idea
Try typing the password on a place where it appears in clear (like the username box) to see if some letters wouldn't be swapped because of keyboard layout weirdness or such...
We also tried it on PC via MyMobiler but didnt work! The password is 100% correct..
is it a googlemail or gmail account?
i have the same problem on CleanEX ROM 2.01.
The built-in gmail option always worked perfect for me until today. Something happened yesterday that prevented phone from booting, so had to hard reset it. Reinstalled my normal apps, and now trying to set up gmail again and it keeps asking for passwords for both accounts. The passwords I'm typing are 100% correct, absolutely no doubt as to validity or typing correctly.
Edit: got home from work, and it's working fine now. didn't even have to enter in the passwords again. Not sure what the issue is/was, perhaps gmail issue?
same issue after a hard reset still asks my password.. noticed that in account setting option it automatically creates a long password (encrypted so I 'm not able to see what is it) and if I insert mine seems it doesn't recognize it... back in account settings I find again that long password..
EDIT: to solve I deleted the email account from device, then I removed email tab from those thare visualized... soft reset... re-visualized the email tab and then re-create my account ( I mean with the old data)
maybe it's the browser? if u r using opera, go to the settings/advanced and see if "allow cookies" is disabled. Mine is enabled and I get right thru
I get this too every now and then (happened today). It always sorts itself out in the end though. Give it some time and try again.
The problem with google.... This happened to me as well about 2 weeks ago but only on one of my accounts. I could log in the web service but not through my phone or outlook. I went in the web way and changed my email setting to forward all mail to another account then after a few days all was well again.
Im not sure what happened. I belive i tried to login the gmail and after that my android market broke. The password stopped working everywhere. On my last builds i only used the gmail account to login to android market and this time i setup the gmail account in my email and it stopped working shortly after. I tried to clear the contacts and i cleared evrything else but it dint work. I enter password and it takes me to the magic word screen captcha. I just keep entering newwords anditjust keeps popping up with new ones forever

Have you tried logging in to gmail via browser or from a computer? May be that logging in to gmail will allow apps to log in...? (Just a guess)
wow what a stupid program.
i was locked out. and there was nothing explaining why it wasnt working on the phone itsself.
im suspecting that google has some kind of check up to make sure you have the account linked to your phone or another email.
because i do not see any reason for this happening in the first place.
Hi guys. I just got back from Best Buy with my Iconia and set up my wifi. When I'm trying to register with my gmail account (the same one I use for my phone) it tells me the password/account do not match.. it's simply not true though. I've entered it multiple times and double checked.
Just to be sure it wasn't locked I went to my PC and logged into my gmail account without any issues.
Any ideas?
edit: Ok I figured it out. I have the google 2 factor authentication and I had to use an application specific password for my tablet.
Anyone else having trouble with google 2FA authentication?
I went to bed last night with a fully working Developer and Rooted S5 phone - workup this morning and my phone would not access any google service. Thought maybe my google account had been hacked (password reset), but tablet and laptop still connected just fine.
I reentered my id, password, and 2fa codes several times, but still said login failed. I would get the email that it consumed a onetime use 2FA code, but the phone still said "there is a problem signing in". I tried from gmail, hangout, google+ and it always failed. The time it worked i was prompted from the play store app. Once it worked, everything else started working too.
Anyone else? Was there a security policy update that could break this?
I don't have 2FA set up, but I did get the "problem signing in" prompt and had to reenter my password. It was for only one of the google accounts on my phone though. Wonder if google has a glitch earlier today?

Hi guys, so I wanted to sell this tablet and I thought it would be easier to just Hard Reset it and then go by the usual initial configuration. The thing is, my account it's not working.
The tablet has my little girl's account and it was family linked to mine, but none of the two accounts does it.
I've tried some tutorials to bypass this but they just doesn't work, *#0#* doesn't show anything, I can't install APK's even with SmartSwitch, Configurations just random says "Stopped Working" and so on.
Did someone ever encounter something like this? I done the FRP thing once when my mom forgot her account password but it was pretty easy.
Cheers!

Sorry, but FRP is no longer "easy to bypass". If the google account is one of a family account, you might be able to use the password manager in Chrome to find the account login and password.
Yeah, I tried with both of the accounts but none works pretty weird situation
