I use Tbird for my gmail. I want to open gmail instead to ask a gmail question but even with the correct email address and password, google still wants extra verification which always fails (round and around in circles). It appears that Tbird knows more about my gmail account than I do! Is this something to do with recently introduced two stage verification? Can you help please?

Is the account active, or are you trying to set it up? If you're trying to set it up, omit the password.

When the OAuth2 verification fails to complete and enters an endless loop, it's often because cookies aren't accepted in TB Settings/Privacy & Security. Adjust the setting, remove any gmail entries in Saved Passwords in Privacy & Security, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window when prompted.
