I keep getting the following notification to enter my Google password in internet accounts since updating to 10.10.3. I have Google's two-factor authentication enabled and have already entered my password through internet accounts but I keep getting this notification every few days. I have tried removing the account and adding again, but the same thing happens.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

I'm new to this thread, having searched all over for a solution to the constant 'Google Password Required' prompt. I've tried the suggestions in this thread, but none of these makes a difference. I'm seeing this prompt around every 20 minutes.
If I click 'Close' it returns 20mins later. If I click 'Continue', I enter my password and a Sign-in dialogue offers a code, invites me to "switch to your application and paste it there". I don't see anywhere to paste the code. After I cancel the dialogue box, the Password Required prompt returns 20mins later.
Maddening. Help!?
Running Yosemite (10.10.5) on a MacBook Air, FWIW.
I'm running Sierra and I've been having this problem for weeks. I have to re-enter my Google Password every time my computer starts. Sometimes even when it wakes. I do use two factor authorization with the AUTHY App.
I have four different Google accounts and email addresses; all of which are set up in Mail and all of which have the exact same settings in my Google profile. Only one of the four accounts generates this message, but it does so on a nearly daily basis.
Steven, do you have two factor authentication enabled for any of those four Google accounts?
Nope. 2-Step verification is off, and "Access for less scure apps" is allowed.
Okay, my solution at this point is to switch to iCloud mail because Gmail is simply unbearable with OS X.
I just received the same alert. When I entered the password, I believe that I was asked to give new permissions. Do the attached permissions appear to be new?
One of my accounts is having the same problem. The permissions asked for are the same as yours.
I received the same prompt and since accepting the permissions I have received the "Google Password Required" notifications many times on an ongoing basis. Each time I click "Continue" on the notification I am taken to Internet Accounts preferences and then receive the same sign in and permissions prompt.
This is happening to me as well. It's getting quite annoying. I've searched and searched for a solution and find nothing.
I really don't know if the solution is "switch to iCloud" as this was never a problem before. I've been using OS X since it first came out and upgrade after upgrade this has never happened before.
It just seems like "switching to iCloud" shouldn't be the solution. Will keep looking and report if I find anything.
Adding more that just Mail as the data to sync has "fixed" it for me... I've got 2 days without a pop-up!
I'm having the same problem. I have it set to sync Mail and Notes, but I'm still getting the same prompts.
Any news on how to solve this issue? This is super annoying. I'm getting that notification each 15 minutes...
I can't find any solution to this. I've switched to iCloud mail after having to deal with numerous compatibility issues between Apple products and Gmail over the last few years.
