Problem with cookies
My gmail worked this morning but when I turned in on later, I get this message. We've detected a problem with your cookie settings. Enable cookies I've tried everythink but I can't get the email to work. I'm 76 and not very good with computers but I do need my Gmail

Hi oliviag126, sometimes the problem is that your existing cookies got gummed up somehow.
Cache and Cookies: When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
See: How to clear the Firefox cache
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
- right-click (on Mac Ctrl+click) a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "Clear Cookies and Site Data"
- (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "Clear Cookies and Site Data"
- click the padlock or "i" icon in the address bar, then the ">" button, then More Information, and finally the "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button
In the dialog that opens, you will see one or more matches to the current address so you can remove the site's cookies individually without affecting other sites.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
And this article is a good reference for settings that may restrict cookies: Websites say cookies are blocked - Unblock them

How can I stop 2 step verification
Do you mean for your Google login? Google has a support article here: Turn off 2-Step Verification.
