Generally I change my passwords annually, but I'm wondering how this would affect the sync on my phone. Does this automatically "update" on your phone; i.e. do I even need to change anything on my phone to keep the sync going (along with the paid apps).
I'm probably over-worried about it, but i would like to change my PW but would hate to have to wipe my phone to do it.
Has anyone changed their Gmail password since setting up an Android phone?
If you change your Gmail account password your phone will eventually popup with a sync error message. You'll then be prompted to enter your new password at this point to sync. So, a wipe is not required.

I have exactly the same issue. Amazingly, It looks like google didn't implemented a easy feature to this scenario.
For several forums I searched in, I only could find that if I wait an unspecific number of days, eventually!, it will pop up a window to insert a password! Completely unacceptable. I'm very frustrated with this.

How about just remove and re-add gmail in "accounts & sync".

You can't remove your primary google account.
But, if you change your password, within an hour it should popup asking for your new one. It's relatively easy; I've done it a half-dozen times.
If it's rooted then I think wipe cache or davlik resets account.

If you try to log back into the Android market, it asks you for the new password, and resets this across your phone.
I'm on HTC desire.
I had the same issue with the endless Captcha. There is a solution though.
Go to www .google .com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha on a PC or a web-browser and unlock the Captcha for your account. You will then be able to login again with username and password on your device.
Hope this helps

From a pc i changed the password on my gmail. Now my phone is pissed because everything syncs back to that account. I tried to change it back from a pc but it wont accept it. Any way to change the password that my phone registers?

From what I've heard, you have to add the google account with the new password, then uncheck the original account from syncing
Cant add the same account, guess I will have to make a new one.

That really sux..surely someone has successfully changed their gmail password without having an issue on the device?
How about removing the account via Settings...Accounts and Sync and re-adding?

Hi guys, first ever post on XDA, so hi to all...
I've just bought a brand new nexus one, rushed home all excited to start messing about with it. Updated fine to 2.2.1 but, when i'm trying to get into the market or gmail, it wont let me sign in with my existing gmail username and password. I know that I'm using the correct username and password.
I'm massively frustrated as I don't want to run two separate accounts and I want to crack on with my new phone!!!
I've got an existing htc desire, which is my everyday phone, surely you don't have to use a separate account on each phone, obviously I've got loads of apps on my original gmail account and want to be able to use one single gmail account.
Question: Can I use 1 gmail account on an htc desire and the nexus one simultaneously?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is weird. You should be able to sign in with your gmail account and password. Is it some kind of HTC Sense security feature? Also are you using Google Authenticator and the 2-step verification feature?

That should be it, turn off the 2-step and you will log right in.
Alternatively, try putting in one of those passwords they asked you to print out during the 2-step wizard.
hi there, thanks for getting back to me.
i am using the 2 step verification, which i thought might be the problem. i'm going to try to disable the extra security and see if that does the trick. mind you, i'm not even sure you can disable it. additionally, i've not heard of an htc feature that prevents simultaneous login, so i'm not sure it's that.
i think you've answered my question though, so far as i should be able to log in on both phones, so thanks
Dude, did you even read the pages when you set up 2-step auth? They very clearly explain that you will need to generate a special password for services that use Google, your standard password will not function.
hey guys, i've just turned off the 2 step verification and have logged in as normal.
thanks for the help
i did read the initial instructions but that was about three weeks ago and I'd obviously forgotten that particular part but thanks for the input. i'll go back and re-read the relevant sections.
So my wife is trying to buy a book from her nook color. She is prompted for a password but she forgot it and there is no way to send the password to her e-mail or anything like that...did we juat miss something or is there really no way to do this?

Can't you just go here
h ttps://cart4.barnesandnoble.com/account/request.aspx?stage=mainStage
and select Forgot My Password next to the Password field?
Oh..remove the space between the 'h' and the 'ttps' in the above link, since I cant post links yet.
No I told her about that and she says the nook store its current than the B&N password

Err maybe call customer service?
There is a way to reset the password.
Continue typing in the incorrect password when prompted. After multiple failed tries it will ask you to verify some of your account information. Once you verify your account information it will give you the ability to remove or reset the password.
Hope this helps.
That did the trick....thanks

So i was using Pure Nexus rom 7.0 for my nexus 6. And i was using 2 step verification with sms option.
But because i was logging in a lot out of my PC and didn't receive the sms codes sometimes, i decided to try Google Authenticator app. Biggest nightmare of my life.
I disabled the sms option to try make the app the default way for using 2 step verification.
Then a Pure Nexus Nougat 7.1.1 rom came out and i wiped everything, without making a nandroid backup (yes i know, so stupid of me).
When i wanted to logged in to my account it asked for a code from Google Authenticator app which is not installed in my phone so i had no way to log in.
I had to ask from help from Google which is apparently has the worst costumer services i have ever seen. I filled the account recovery form which asks me when i created my google account(like i would ever remember) and then i ask me to provide all the details i can.
This week my 5th request to recovery for the account was rejected. Sadly, i get an auto email from google telling me that they couldn't verify i'm the rightful owner. They asked me for more details, but wont tell what details that could be. i have no idea what can i do to prove then im the owner.
What a disappointment from google that i cant even attach photos to the request and that all they do is to tell me to provide more details with an auto message, with no guidance.
Oh, and btw i posted in the google nexus forum and was told the exact same thing as the auto -reply email.
Anyone here had he's account recovered and can tell what detail to provide?
Isn't there an option to get the authentication code via SMS?

Yep. I used it more times than I want to count, in trying to resolve OK Google issues on Pure Nexus.
You can still choose to obtain SMS with verification code which will be automagically pasted in appropriate field.
Just look around your UI before lashing out.
i have one Nexus 6 with NBD91P build which is locked with google account (FRP),
i tried almost everything in order to bypass it, but nothing worked for me till now,
dirty-c0w exploit doesn't work also,

Yeah. Get ahold of the account owner. There are some tut around on how to get past it, You will need an otg flash drive to do it. I know it works as I had to do it to a few devices this weekend and it worked on all of them without fail. Completely bypassed all security.

There should be a link that says something like "Having trouble?" below the field where you would enter the authenticator code. Tap that and you will get a list of options, one of which is to verify via text message.
Getting such a text does not change defaults.

I get a message saying "problems with your code?" When trying to add a google account to my phone. When i press it i get the Google authentication app or contact google with recovery option which i tried many times. No sms option
Here are the option i get
Just to cover one more possibility that you haven't mentioned, did you not print the 10 authentication codes that you can use for exactly your situation?
Failing that, maybe zelendel can give you some advice on the procedure he mentioned above?
Edit: on rereading the thread, maybe I'm getting confused because mirosaw2 has posted a question which seems to be related to his device, not his account, and therefore (if I'm correct) should not have been posted in this thread because it's a different question and zelendel's answer doesn't apply to the OP's problem.
Here is the link to the tut that I used. It worked across a few devices.

There are two different discussions going on. However, you are correct in that he should have the emergency codes. If he doesn't, he should be able to get them easily enough.

well it looks like you'll just have to contact google and let them help you.
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
"he should be able to get them easily enough"
But if he hasn't got access to his account, and Google are playing hardball, how can he get the codes now?
By signing in on his PC. Unless he didn't click the box near where it says "Don't ask again on this computer" on the Google sign-in screen, he won't need an authentication code to access his account. Other devices and services requiring access to Google still need to go through the authenticator.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem. I understand that the OP doesn't have access to his Google account at all, therefore he can't validate his phone, but also can't sign into Google on his PC. Maybe he can clarify that for me?

He set up the Google Authenticator on his N6 because of his frequently accessing his Google account on the PC. Apparently he disabled SMS retrieval in his account, and then wiped his device. Now when he tries to activate the account on the N6 he can't because the account requires an authentication token. Google cannot verify that he is who he says he is and thus will not give him a code.
Unless he set up his PC to automatically authenticate his account upon login, he won't be able to authenticate his account. That means he's locked out of everything and will have to make a new account. He'll also have to find a way to bypass FRP on the N6, as he'll get locked out trying to activate.
