[?] Nokia N9 keeps prompting me for gmail account password after attempting to sync email
 

Hey everyone-

So I recently enabled to two-step verification for my primary Gmail account and then disabled it after I realized that it wouldn't sync with my N9 anymore. However, after I disabled the two-step verification and deleted and resynced my gmail account I keep getting a popup window asking me for my password even though I've already entered the correct one. So now whenever I resync my emails I get a prompt asking for my gmail password but when I reenter it it just loops and brings up the same prompt again. I've made sure I'm typing it in correctly. I have two other gmail accounts and they're both working fine but for some reason this one doesn't want to sync. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what you have done to your GMail account on device but just FYI 2-step verification works as I use it too...

When you enable 2-step verification in GMail there is a application-specific password shown only once... Take that password and enter as your password on device as that password is random and doesn't require 2-step... This way you will have 2-step verification wherever GMail supports it and on-device once you enter that password it'll sync fine...

Of course if you forget this password you can generate 10 new application-specific passwords from GMail too; it would be better for you to read the 2-step guide on GMail first before applying it...
