email failed to authenticate with google

I've found bunch of people are experiencing same issue here with email setting on our macs.

The window keeps popping up when I tried to add my google account through Preference>Internet accounts.

Does anyone got any helpful solutions yet?

Yeah.

Thanks for your help! I've already tried a bunch of options. And my Automatic Proxy Detection in my network preference is constantly off.

1. Yes I can log into the gmail website. everyday without error. But I'm using VPN to support my access because the wall is blocking google interactions here.

2. yes. I already updated my password on all gmail accounts and deleted the keychain info on my mac

3. no. I turned off my 2- step

4.I did signing in my account (web-interface)on this mac everyday

5. The website shows this when I tried the Unlock Captcha function:

6. I enabled "Access for less secure apps"

7. IMAP option? Yeah I tried to reboot both IMAP and POP

8. I never add any google accounts on my mac before. My question is that I have trouble adding new gmail account. So I cannot delete any accounts that I dont have on my mac. The delete and re-add action is not working for me.
