IPhone :: Gmail Account Is Telling That Username And/or Password Is Incorrect?
Mar 13, 2012
My Gmail account was telling me I had an incorrectu username and/or password. I treid to delete the account, and reinstall and now I'm still getting the same message. I tried on wifi and 3G, I confirmed I was able to log onto my email from a computer, and I tried to reboot my phone.
When I click the mail icon to take me to my gmail account it says "the user name or password for gmail.com is incorrect". I know for a fact that the username and password are both correct because I can still access my gmail account through my computer. I have deleted the account and have tried reading the account but it will not let me.
I keep getting this message on my phone when I try to get my email: The username or password for imap.gmail.com is incorrect. It is correct. I can access it on my computer with ease. what gives?
All of a sudden, my Alias mail account name is telling me that the password or account name is incorrect.So I go into SETTINGS as the button appears for it, and I hit it check all the settings and the settings are fine, nothing has changed. I have not had this problem in over 5 years! Is this a symptom of iCloud going full, taking over MobileMe? I cancelled my MM account 3 months back and have not had any problems. Why has this problems suddenly started appearing? I was looking at the mail in the ALIAS account from the alias account. Now I am looking at it through my main account, which is also reacting slowly due to this problem.
Only one of my 3 gmail accounts on my phone is acting up from time to time, saying incorrect username and/or password. I know this is false because I simply wait and the problem goes away. Only this time, it's been 24 hours now and it still thinks its the wrong username and/or password. In the meantime, I'm able to use that username and password on my laptop with no problems. I've tried deleting the account on my phone and adding it again, but it still thinks incorrect username and/or password.
When I try to open my Gmail on my iPhone 4, I get an error message that says Cannot Get Mail - The user name or password for "My Gmail" is incorrect. But they aren't. I have deleted the account and added it back again numerous times. This is what the support person I talked to told me to do. Sometimes I can get into my email and then all of a sudden I can't.
Gmail question. I'm getting an error message that states my username or password are incorrect. I haven't changed anything and the gmail is working fine on the mac book. The mail function worked yesterday on the iphone but not today
I have multiple mailboxes. I have a yahoo and a Gmail. When I click on my gmail account it comes up saying it does not recognize my username or my password and yet it has my correct password and username. I have deleted the account and created it again to get the same messages on my iphone.

I've had the social networking widget working fine for some time. About a week ago the sync to my twitter account stopped working stating there was a username password problem. I double checked and I have the correct username and password. I changed the password online but that didn;t I've tried deleting the account from "my accounts" and it keeps telling me that the username / password are incorrect? Any workaround?
Why when trying to setup my gmail account on this supposedly incredible iPhone 4S it keeps telling me that imap username and or password is wrong? I have tried everything I was told and still same problem?

When trying to install any app on my iphone 5c, it keeps telling me, that either my APPLE ID or password is incorrect, even after I've reset my password. Why is this happening?
No matter what I do in setting up my primary account on my iphone it keeps telling me my username and/or password is incorrect. I'm 100% sure it's correct. The account was working perfectly and nothing changed. I still use the email on my desk top so I know it is valid. It may even fetch the mail occasionally.

using googlemail on my imac and synced via itunes. This worked perfectly on my old iphone 3 but won't allow me to send any emails from the new one. I'm still receiving email so the password must be correct. Not sure what to do now?
When I try to set up a new email account on my iphone 4, it says that the username and password is incorrect. I then log on to my email through a computer and have zero issues. So it makes me think it's either a problem with my phone, or with Yahoo. It worked perfectly fine 24 hours ago, then today, nothing I've done has worked.
My Gmail account won't work unless I am in a Wi-fi area, and even then only sometimes. It tells me my password is incorrect even when I know it is not.
My exchange for gmail was working fine. Email, contacts and calendar. Then I was asked for the password because a pop up said it was incorrect. No matter how many times I enter the correct password, it stills says incorrect. I have tried the following
1. Delete and reinstall all email accounts several times. When I re-create the gmail exchange everything verifies and a minute later, I gt the pop up.
2. Delete iCloud account
3. Change password and try again
4. Add gmail account under gmail and that works fine but I'm still not getting my contacts.
5. Unlock captcha. When I follow the link I get a screen saying my identity needs to be verified and them I click okay and the screen says I have 10 minutes to use password on device. I never get he option to enter the scrambled code on my PC or phone Tried google double verification. None of these have worked despite multiple attempts. I have recently switched to google chrome and am using it under my PC laptop and iMac.

Up until last Thursday, I was happily using my iPhone 3 to receive emails sent to my [URL] account.neevr had any problems.Then suddenly, nothing!Everyt time I click on the email icon on my iphone, all I get is a message saying my username or password for ".Mac" is incorrect. I spoke to someone from, apple earlier and they told me to back up and update via iTiunes.I did this but to no avail. All that seems to have happened is I've lost the music I had on my phone in my itunes and lost all the emails I had there.Still not able to receive anything. I can get my emails via icloud online, but that's it! Very annoying.
I have been getting my emails pushed to my blackberry Tour fine for months. This morning I changed my password on my gmail account and now it will not let me receive messages on my blackberry.

I am having repeated and seemingly inconsistent (though currently consistently) problems with gmail saying my password is incorrect. It's not. I tried this with push, and then resorted back to imap (with gpush app) and it now won't accept my password with imap at all. Gmail is not working with my iphone at all!What is the problem here? in the past two months gmail and my iphone don't play together well at all anymore!
