I changed my password and added a PIN to my gmail account and even thought I get the prompt and allow access it doesn't work and keeps asking for it again. Say that it's the wrong email or password. I did delete the old password in the stored passwords but it didn't help. Whether I use my password or the PIN when connecting to google and then chose to allow access to Thunderbird it just keeps asking to grant access again.

- Make sure the Username field on the Available configurations screen has your full email address, not just your name

- Make sure cookies are allowed in Thunderbird

- Do not use a VPN while attempting to authenticate your Google account

- Make sure there is no application running on your computer which is blocking local TCP port 80, e.g. a local web server
