Unable to access Google Account

Richie · 4 Jan 2012 at 17:18

Anyone else having issues accessing any of their Google accounts?

I have 2 step auth active on the account and when I go to sign in it just loops me back between the auth code page and the login page....

Had a quick gander on the net with no joy :confused:

Still no joy.

This is what happens every time:

I go to the main page (Gmail, Google, Docs, whatever)
I put in my username and password
I am redirected to the auth code page
I input the code
It loops back to the auth code page
I re-enter the auth code
It loops me back to the username/password page

ad-infinitum

I have used codes generated by my android app as well as emergency 1-use codes but still nothing.

Note: I was logged in but could not access GMail so I cleared cookies and the problem started

I had that happen to me! Is it saying you password or something is incorrect?

Richie · 4 Jan 2012 at 17:35

Nope. If my password is wrong then it will say "wrong username/password". I know it is correct as it accepts it and then takes me to the Auth Code page....

I attempted to rule out the generated codes on the Android App by using one of the emergency backup codes it gave you at the start and still nothing.

No chuffin idea wtf is wrong.

Thanks for the help people
