Can't add gmail back to iphone
I had 2 Gmail accounts on my iPhone 6S, and I changed the password on one of them on my PC.
Then I had to enter the new password on the phone; no matter how many times I entered it, and got a verification code, and responded to the email (on my PC) that the activity was me, it would NOT accept it on the phone & let me back into my account.
I removed the account from the phone, and tried to add it back - same loop occurs and will not add the account back. This account has ALL my contacts, which of course is causing problems. I have read forums and tried everything - I don't know how to make this work.
Here's the loop:
- settings, mail, accounts, add account, Google
- sign in screen: enter email - NEXT - enter password
- 2 step verification - enter code
- go to Gmail email on my PC - respond to security alert and confirm it's me
- nothing in the list for the new account
- tried shutting phone down - nothing
Any suggestions??
iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.3
