Hi All!
I have a problem logging into a g-mail account. I can't find an answer how to fix this. Is it OK if I ask here, even though this isn't a Google user group?
The Problem:
The g-mail accounts on my Mac Mail stopped working. When entering the password, the message "Unable to verify" pops up. So, I check e-mail on a browser. When logging into one of my mail addresses, Google used to send a pop-up to my Android phone (Android 11). I'd click "Yes, it's me" and the browser on the computer would log me into the g-mail account.
Now, it won't send the pop-up. At the top of the choices page for verification, the message says "unanble to connect" even before I try to use the verification. The phone is on, with signal and with WiFi internet.
They give me another choice- codes. I can enter either of the codes they send to the phone, but the code is always rejected.
My only option is to have them send a SMS code. It works, but I pay per text so I'd like to avoid that.
Do you all know how to fix this? Preferably the "Yes it's me". Ideally, the "Yes it's me" would work for all g-mail accounts, but I think we are only allowed to link one address per phone.
Thanks For Helping>
