Please help! A while ago, i was synchronizing my gmail when wp7 asked me to ipdate and reinput my password. But each time i type in the right password, it says that the password is incorrect! Tried deleteting the account on my phone and putting it back again, still the same. On the browser and also on the desktop, i can log on normally using the same password. Please help
That sounds really strange. I've never had any issues with my gmail accounts.
It sounds like a typo, but since you've tried it several times that may not be the case.
Are you sure you didn't mistype the email address instead of the password?
I know that with the software keyboard, I sometimes hit the key next to the one I want to hit. But I'm sure you already tried typing the password slowly and looking at each letter as you type it.
Yes i'm 100% sure i got them all correct. Tried changing and rechanging the password but still nothing. Also, i tried on my wife's iphone, and it worked perfectly. On the wp7, nothing
Is your Server listed as m.google.com?
Also, did you make sure to check "Server requires encrypted (SSL) connection?
Yes and yes, m.google.com and SSL is checked. Even tried turning my phone off but still nothing
Are you actually using a @gmail.com account, or a corporate account through Google?
i'm using a .gmail.com account. it was working before, but now, nada.
Sounds like a bug.
I heard of someone who experienced something similar. They were able to solve it by connecting to a WiFi network and then setting up their gmail account.
I'm not sure why that solved it for them, but maybe it could help you too.
And it just did. I was connected to 3G when it happened. Connected to my home wifi and it finally accepted my password. Again, i connected to 3G just to confirm it and well ut works now. Thanks for all the help guys. Will drop the wp7 guys an email about this
I just ran into the same issue.
I had changed my gmail password via web interface. then the phone asked for the new password but wouldn't accept it.
I ended up deleting the account on the phone, changing the password at gmail (again) to something different, then readded the account to the phone. In that time period though, I logged onto wifi in order to sync faster.
Would have been nice to have seen this thread earlier...
Gmail on Android persistence challenge credentials bug fix
I found this to be a bug with Gmail account log in failures on Andriod when using 2-step verification. It persistently challenges you for credentials although you have successfully logged into your Google account on another machine via a web browser.
This is the fix I found:
Step 1:
Log into your gmail account on another machine using a web browser.
Go to account settings > 2-step verification > authorising sites > application specific password
Step 2:
generate a password called gmail -android but do not click done.
Step 3:
go to device enter your gmail - andriod application specific password and you will get challenged a further 2-3 times enter the same password (you may have to also enter the CAPTCHA (a security image with distorted letters)).
Step 4:
When you are no longer challenged, try to sync with gmail if you do not get a sign-in error on your device then this has worked and be sure to click done in your your google account settings via your browser on the other machine you used.
Hope this helps to those of you who are suffering from this infuriating Google 2-step verification bug.

I had countless issues with my Gmail account on WM6.x - same as you describe. Would not accept my credentials.
The steps described above solved it for me (having to reset using that captcha thing) but it would keep on re-occuring. Not seen it so far in WP7 though. *touch wood*
Hi,
here is my problem:
My friend have tried to unlock my tablet with schema many times but he didn't, the problem now is the device ask for gmail email and password, I wrote the only Gmail I used and the passwords correctly, but it tells me that they are not correct, I think because the wifi is OFF (I can't access to activate it).
Please Help me.
P.S.
I have tried writing "null" in email and password
and tried the username of youtube and "null" as password and the email password.
I tried the email without "@gmail.com" and "null" as password and tried the real password too.
BUT THE SAME PROBLEM
Please help me it's urgent
You could try those steps.

If none of these works, I'm afraid that you'll have to wipe it and start over.
After re-setting Gmail password on laptop, it does not automatically re-set on HTC Desire.
GMail auto-sync fails on Google password reset
to solve the problem start the Market app on the phone and this asked for my new password which you can put in and then the google mail worked o.k.'
Hope it helps someone!
Yesterday, i did a Factory Reset to my Phone (Xperia Ray) and it went great, except i can't login my Google Account and Facebook, it says " Couldn't sign in" Your username and password don't match while on my PC it's fine. I try again and again still had the same result :crying:
Any idea to solve these?:crying:

Is there a way to bypass without wipe data and factory reset ??
WORK OF 10 YEARS WILL BE ERASE BY THIS DATA RESET !!!!:crying:
HOPE I WILL SEE SOLUTIONS TO MY PROBLEM

just enter an invalid passwor a few times, and it will take you to the forgot password page.
You can then enter your google account email, and proceed to unlock it with your google account password, or create a new pattern. ( You have to have a google account created when setting up the phone, but don't need it logged in on mobile).
If you perform a factory reset, you will still need your google account email and password, as those are saved to a protected partition on the phone, and you cannot erase that. This is to prevent people from stealing phones.
