sign in google account help

You probably have to enter a device-specific password. Follow these steps:

1. On your computer, open your browser to any Google page and sign in.
2. Click on your Google account picture at the upper right, then click on "Account."
3. On the left column, click on "Security."
4. Scroll down to "2-Step Verification," and click "Manage your application specific passwords."
5. Scroll down to "Application specific passwords," and type an arbitrary name for your Email app (you can just call it "Phone Email" or something like that).
6. Use the random password that is generated on the next page as your Gmail password if you're trying to log into your stock Email app or trying to link your Gmail account to the stock Email app.

I hope this helps. I never use the stock Email app, so I can't tell you for sure if this will solve the problem.
