If Mail on your Mac keeps asking for your password


  • Your email provider needs you to update or reset your password for security reasons. For example, if you're using Google’s two-step verification, your Gmail account in Mail requires the appropriate app-specific password.
  • Your email provider deactivated or suspended your account. Contact your email provider for help.

No, ok I try to tell what I do:

I add a new account e chose Gmail, so I sign my Gmail address and then , when he asked to me the PW of the address I sign it.

At this point, in he left corner, star the loading icon for one second and he show what service I won't.

So, at this moment I chose Email service.

Now, on the bottom bar I have only the possibility to chose cancel button and the Next/Finisch button isn't possible to push.

I have other 2 email addresses but I have problems only with Gmail.

Is possible Mail have problems for the new system of double recognized system?

I don't why?
