26.04.2019 Internet

Having bought a brand new smartphone running on the Android operating system, many users are faced with the problem of not being able to add a Google account. Accordingly, because of this there is no access to a huge number applications in the service Google Play(formerly Market). Let's not put up with this, but let's look in detail at how to get around this error...

So, what should you do if your smartphone gives you an error about the wrong password?

Well, first of all, really check that you may be entering the password incorrectly. If you are sure that everything is correct, then the issue is Google's double authentication. For those who don’t know, this is additional account protection using a mobile phone (that is, via SMS). Many smartphones do not support it, so they display an error message. I do not recommend disabling this method of protection under any circumstances (after all, burglars do not sleep).

But Google naturally thought of everything! There is a special service for creating a separate password for your account, which we will use. First, log in to your Google account, then follow the link - https://accounts.google.com/IssuedAuthSubTokens. Enter your password again and click “ Confirm«.

On the screen you will see a page called “ My account". Scroll down to the section “ Application passwords". Next we will create New Password for smartphone. In the text line enter any name and click on the button “ Create a password«.


Your smartphone password will appear immediately. Rewrite it without spaces and press “ Ready«.


All that remains is to add an account on your smartphone. Let's go to Settings ›› Accounts and Synchronization ›› Add an account. Enter your email and special password. The account should now connect and sync normally! note that given password Designed for mobile phone or tablet only. On your computer, use your old password, protected by a verification code!

To register an account, you need to go to the Google home page. On the main page we see the following.

In the upper right corner, click on the “Login” button and go to the next page.


On this page, at the bottom of the screen, click on “Create an account.”

On the next page we see many fields to fill out.


You need to indicate your first and last name and come up with a unique nickname. This nickname will be used as an email address. Create a password of at least 8 characters. It is advisable that it consist of uppercase and lowercase letters and also contain numbers, this will make it more difficult to hack the account. Indicate date of birth, gender and mobile phone number if desired. Mobile phone needed to restore access to your account, for example, if you forgot your password, an SMS with recovery data will be sent to your mobile phone.


Next is the item “Default Home Page”, you can check the box if you want to make the main page google.com. The home page is the page that appears in the browser window immediately after it is launched.

On the next page, click “Create Profile”.


With this click we create a profile on google+. This profile is required to access all google services, for example: youtube, play market, google map, etc.
