Recover Gmail

[Zolotoy]

I have changed a password for my Google mail account. I have removed the account and I am trying adding it back. After finishing adding it I am getting to this screen:


Not sure what to do next. The account is not appearing anywhere.

Thanks

07. Tap the Sign in button.
08. Once you're signed in, open the Edge browser.
09. Visit http://www.gmail.com and log in to your Google account.

11. Tap on the Allow Access button.
12. You will be forwarded to the Google security setting page. "Under the Access for less secure apps", select "Turn on".

Wait for the settings on the phone to update, and your Google account will work on your phone.

Seems this is the only semi workable solution for at least getting email in realtime. breaks calendar and contacts, and still leaves some other oath 3rd party apps broken. I hope a fix comes soon. This war has too much collateral damage.
