So did you wait 10 seconds?

[jrdncchr]

Of course its been repeating, and cannot log in.

try to use app password instead of your email/user password

When I go to my google account apppasswords, its empty.

I get similar behavior on macOS today, ever since the mobile app updates yesterday evening.

I've tested this against both PTC & Google account types.

EDIT: Sorted my issues so no issues found now, all working as intended.

@innrwrld Could you share how did you solve the issue? I got the same error here.

[innrwrld]

@evan0322 Mine was related to firewall restrictions on a corporate network. I forgot we have SSL decryption going on & that caused my connections to fail, plus since PMG stuff is "games" related it gets APP filtered by a different type of firewall ruleset, so I got a double whammy. Once I remembered I had to do something else to resolve, it was all good. Not sure however what may be causing your woes, unless of course you're attempting to also run from a corporate environment.
