Gmail does not recognize my password through Thunderbird. Through gmail it works.
When attempting to retrieve messages in Thunderbird from my gmail account the password is not recognized. There had been no problems until Friday. Using Thunderbird 31.3.0. on Windows 7 machine. I can sign in to gmail via the web. Error message says to log in using http://support.google.com/mail/accounts/bin/answer.p4?answer=78754(failure). This was attempted. Instructions followed. Same result. No email.

This is more than likely the supposed security junk that gmail dreamed up. Go to gmail and read about 2 step verification and application specific passwords or turning on access for less secure applications.

Turning on access to less secure applications was the answer.
Thank you
