user name or password incorrect gmail

[Android Question]

Cannot receive email on android motorola phone. Error message says "User name or password incorrect. (Gmail)" How do I fix it?

This can happen if you are using the same account with two different apps, like the default 'email' app and 'gmail' and both attempt to sync at the same time, causing a conflict. Try removing the account from one of the apps and see what happens.
