ApplicationsHi,
If I go to Server Settings, after logging the account out of the server, (So I can change things) and use NO SSL and port 5222 and then log back in again I get this.
It's an Alert from the Keychain
If I "Continue " I get this...
Which is an Alert from Messages itself.
However at this point the Google Talk Account will login.
This is different from the last time I checked in iChat 5

Aug 18, 2012 2:21 PM in response to 2502Bastetby 2502Bastet,success ! but before you change to 443 SSL on delate all preferences for ichat and messages at users/XXXX/library/Preferences... all plist (maybe one would work but I did delete all so not sure which one ;-) So this is what worked for me:
1. Using activity monitor
quit the meesages service
2. Delete all plist
com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist
com.apple.iChat.Jabber
com.apple.iChat.LSSharedFileList
com.apple.iChat
com.apple.iChat.StatusMessages
com.apple.iChat.Yahoo
com.apple.imessage.bag
com.apple.imservice.FaceTime
com.apple.imservice.iMessage
3. Restart Computer
4 set up your account again with messages and put 443 ssl (on)
good luck :-)

May 17, 2013 10:34 AM in response to LeddyJby Kanad,I too had the the same problem, but i solved it by the followin method.
Step 1 : Enable 2 setp verification from gmail.com (https://www.google.com/settings/security)
Step 2 : Go to Manage in Connected applications and sites tab
Step 3 : Generate application specific password.
Step 4 : Now go to system preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calenders > Google tab (If already) > details> enter your username and then the application specific password
Step 5 : In iChat preferences , you'll now see the google acc with greyed out username and password and a single option of Enable this account.
Step 6 : Now it should work

Jan 2, 2015 11:37 AM in response to johannes.mahneby David Brick,Yes, but if you set the port to 443 you can check SSL back on and it works and is perhaps more secure?

ApplicationsHi,
Yes port 443 and SSL is more secure than not using SSL.
Google accepts SSL Logins on port 5223 (The regular Jabber SSL Port) and on port 443
It does not accept NON SSL logins.
The issue is that now Google do not thinks that SSL is secure enough and you have to enable the Less Secure Apps Login option at your Google Settings.

Mar 23, 2016 11:21 AM in response to LeddyJby tayyab.ramay,Hi all,
The likely reason for this happening is in your Google account security settings. It appears you need to allow insecure apps access for iMessages to work (whatever insecure means from Google's perspective ???).
Go to the link below and login using your google id when prompted.
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Not sure why this is necessary when the iMessages server settings are as below but there you go.
Like you probably did I went through my Google account settings and turned on the option to stop insecure access. Seemed like a good idea at the time. After that suddenly iMessage starts popping up login prompts and I can't connect it any more.
It helped me now
I am using Yosmite
