How to recover a Samsung account password from device? - General Questions and Answers

I can't remember my password and Google close my email account associated my device. If I open a new account the device will clear all content. I try Samsung costumer service but can't help since they do not hold access to clients accounts.
Can any one help?
Thanks!

You can't go to Samsung's website and hit forgot password?

No. I lose access to gmail account associated with the device.

Email

Does the inspire not support Verizon email accounts? Mine won't add it. I tried the mail app and also went settings, accounts, add account. Still nothing. Any thoughts?
Are you talking about the HTC Mail App? Is there any reason you're not using GMail?
I have gmail also but my work email is Verizon
I think he is trying to tell you to add your pop or whatever account to your gmail account.. you do this online - log into gmail, go to settings, and add the accounts... this way you don't have to deal with the email app..

Ah I see, didn't realize that. Thanks ill try that and let you guys know.
I had no problems manually entering my Verizon acct into the HTC email app. Have you tried manually entering your acct info?

You either arent logged in to the same google account on your phone or you cleared history by accident.

Adding Google account without Gmail on Gingerbread?

There is a problem that prevent me from using my Gingerbread device. In fact, when I try to add and Google Account on my 2.3.6 ME860, unlike in the 4.1.2 where you can simply enter the non-Gmail email address and sync with your Google Account, in Gingerbread, when I enter the same thing, they say that the user name (and not the email address) is not belong to any Gmail account ended with @gmail.X. So, I attempted to enter my username that is used in my Google Account with the non-Gmail email adress. Therefore, obviously, it doesn't work. So, what can I do? Do I really need to create a VIP gmail email account especially for this phone. More, the most weird thing is that in the past I used to use this phone with the same Google account that I use now with my 4.1.2 phone (the same that I try to login with right now) and I remembered that I can do it without any problem.:crying:

No, you don't have to create any new account. A single account can be synced and used up on multiple Androids at the same time.
Do you have any custom ROM installed? And please mention your device. A few screenshots of the App drawer and Settings would help a little here, for me to understand.

HTC mail app

Hello all,
I've decided to ditch Gmail and use the stock mail app. One if my accounts was hacked recently so Google had me add an extra layer of protection that when ever I sign in from another new device (or when I change ROMS) it sends me a verification code in a text message to complete the sign in. Is this what's preventing me from being able to sign into my account using the HTC mail app? Is there a way around it or something I'm missing when trying to set it up.
Thanks,
Mark

You have to go into your Google security settings and get a unique password that you will use for the HTC mail app. You will use the password supplied when you setup the mail app instead of your Google password. You will find it near the bottom of the security screen.

Where are the Google security settings at? I was able to go to Google settings and hit the 3 dots on the to right and one of the options was to get a verification code and it gave me one. I tried to use it as a password without a space in the middle and with but it still says failed.

I am not near a computer right now but you might need to get to the Google security settings via a browser. A verification code will definitely not work. You need to set an app specific password. Try to Google search "two step authentication app specific password" sorry I can't be of more help right now. If I was near a computer I could give you exact steps.

Then click on settings for app passwords
It will generate a one time use password that will not be shown again after initially generated. You can save it if you wish, but you can generate as many as you wish so there really isn't a need. You can also revoke it at any time.
Thanks to both of you for the help. It worked like a charm.

Glad you got it to work. Too bad Google doesn't make that function a bit more obvious.
