Gmail fake message "Mail password required".

I have just upgraded to Macos 10.11.3 and now cannot use Apple Mail to access my Gmail pop account.  I get the message "Mail password required", but his game and retype does not solve the problem.  Suggestions?  This is not an expected upgrade result.  Thank you.

Since I have seen many people with this problem, and the one proposed response was to remove and re-create your email account, here is the solution I found.

Use the web interface to connect to gmail.

Go to your account settings

Click on the connection and the entrance of parameters

At the bottom of the page, select "allow applications that are less safe."

You will receive an email from Google stating you have activated this option, but your Mail from Apple will now be able to retrieve messages from your Gmail account.

Hoe this help someone.

  • Post messages for password required

    In the last few days I've been to repeated messages titled 'Mail password required' popup that appears to relate to a POP account I have with BT Internet. If I go on Internet accounts and click this account a dialog asking you for the password of e-mail. When I write I get the message "Unable to verify the account name or password". Despite all this malarkey mail account works fine via Mail 9.1 and also via the webmail BT site - using the same password.

    Life was easy before the arrival of the El Capitan: since then, I've had problems with Mail, it is just the latest.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    The password protects any password account that you told Thunderbird to remember.
    Since you get the master password prompt, obviously set you a master password at one point.

    It is possible to reset the password, which would also be possible to erase your account passwords.

  • Anyone having problems with messages of script with the new version of GMail and Yahoo Mail? All the others seem fine and no problems with other browsers. With the help of FF25

    Gmail and Yahoo mail are very slow to load. I get a message from the script almost whenever instruct me to continue or to stop the script. Everything I have shut down or restart the browser goes blank and hangs. So, I have to restart Firefox. I followed suggestions on the help pages for the slow e-mail accounts or issues. (cleared cache etc, reset etc.) nothing solves the problem. I only noticed the problem since the first update of FF25. Scripts to stop even on these pages is not acceptable, because you are directed to the pages who insist you must restart scripts. It's a nightmare! Gmail both Yahoomail are very slow to respond to clicks more.

    Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some preferences at each start of Firefox.

    The user.js file appears only if you or another software created, therefore, normally, he wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor if you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever you launch Firefox and initializes the preferences to the value specified in this file, so set of preferences via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

    You can rename or delete the prefs.js file and numbered possible prefs-# .js and the file user.js to reset all default prefs.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

    • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

    Note that the folder "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.

  • Password required specific App

    My wife tries to access his Messages in the settings menu. He now seeks an app - password required screen. Click 'create' and it will take you to the site Apple ID. After signing to send the code on his phone, where to enter this code? His iPhone and the Pad have been synchronized to send and receive messages on both devices, but for some reason, it stopped working. I tried to search the boards to see what everyone else is doing to solve this problem, but we do not seem to go beyond the specific requirement of password app. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry... you are wanting to know where to use the specific password app you generated? Or you have problems generating a?

    Messages should support natively, a verification code which means that you should not use a password specific app.

  • I want to mailto: links to open my GMail compose e-mail form... NOT windows mail.

    I tried make all the good setup but still get the windows mail compose electronic form when opening mailto: links in all my browsers. and I can't appoint Gmail as the default for opening mailto: links in the installation of Windows Vista default programs.
    What can I do?

    mailto URL can cause e-mail clients open.  They cannot induce access to a web-accessible online mail service.  Why not create an account gmail in Windows Mail and then your mailto URL will cause a new window message whose sending address is your gmail address?

  • Password required but no defined (ssh)

    Hello

    I'm stumped... I have several 3750 switches x (IOS 15.0 (2) SE4) configured for authentication with NPS (RADIUS).  When I ssh in these switches, I can authenticate via Radius successfully.  However, when I type activate, I get this message: password required, but none set... password: __________.  He will accept my password to enable problem-free.

    I 3750 g switches and do not encounter this message when you type in my password to enable.

    I'm trying to understand what generated this message.  This is my setup for aaa loging and line vty:

    encryption password service

    AAA new-model

    AAA authentication login default group RADIUS local-case

    RADIUS group AAA authorization exec default authenticated if

    AAA - the id of the joint session

    password for admin1 privilege 0 [email protected]username / * / username //changed and password

    enable secret 5 *.

    line vty 0 4

    session-timeout 10

    Synchronous recording

    preferred no transport

    entry ssh transport

    transport of output no

    Thank you

    It is a bit of a strange behavior. I suspect it has something to do with the IOS 15.0 changes.

    I think part of the problem is that you have not provided any aaa commands of authentication for access to activate the mode. If you want to control access to activate the mode through RADIUS similar to what you do for the user mode? Or you just want to use the enable password. I think if you put that in the configuration that he could solve this problem. It might look like this if you want to use radius

    AAA authentication enable default group enable RADIUS

    or it might look like this if you want just the enable password

    the AAA authentication enable default

    One of them give it a try and tell us if it helps.

  • "More strong password required"... do we really?

    Hey gang-

    Today has tried to connect to iCloud.com and got a dialog box indicating "updated your Apple ID.  More strong password required".   There seems to be no way to continue beyond this dialog and connect to iCloud.com without changing my password Apple ID.

    My dates Apple ID and password to. Mac days.   It is 7 characters, while the dialog box indicates that I need a new password 'at least 8 characters', upper and lower case letters and at least one number.

    Good, I get all the this.   My question is, anyone with a "legacy" Apple ID flows into that?  Is there really no way to connect iCloud.com without changing my password?  This password is literally part of my DNA now!  And the ripple effect of shear to change this password through all my Apple devices and services makes my head spin.   Everyone with password respects not above being required to change?

    Thank you!

    Dave

    I think they are.

    There has been several discussions here about it.

    It's an unfortunate situation, but enhanced online security requires that a safer than even 8 characters password provides.

    MU suggestion is to simply re-use your password of 7 characters and add, at the beginning or end, 1 letter/number etc to meet the new requirements.
