Build ID: 20151029151421

Steps to reproduce:

Updated to 38.4.0


Actual results:

Now it will not accept the password for one of my gmail accounts. The other gmail account still works. I did a "show passwords" and they are both correct. I logged onto the gmail account with Firefox and was able to access the account fine.


Expected results:

TB should have been able to access the two accounts that I had been using with it.
OS: Unspecified → Windows 8.1
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64
In my inbox for the account that TB cannot log into, there was this message from Google:
Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account xxxxxxx@gmail.com from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards. [The only "app" that is not working is TB!]

The newest thing in my world is a new smartphone that is running the gmail app. It works fine on both accts.
What did you upgrade from?
In the account settings, is he Authentication Method set to OAuth2?
Requires more information from Peter
