Resolved: Google Docs Integration Fails Authentication

scrfix

Google Docs Integration keeps telling me that Authentication is failing with error message unable to authenticate. I am using the correct username and password. When I sign in to my Google docs I get a message stating that suspicious activity has tried to access my account. It asks me if it was me. I say yes. I try to authenticate again and it still fails.

Is someone able to assist with how I tell Google to quit blocking my epesi application?

Thanks,

Wayne

Okay, this was not easy to figure out. If this happens to you then:
Step 1: Sign in to your Google Account (Not Gmail) - https://accounts.google.com/Login
Step 2: Click on the Security Link to the left
Step 3: Set up 2 step verification (Click Edit next to 2 step verification)
Step 4: Epesi is not yet compatible with two step verification so now go and review the permissions on what apps have what permissions. (Click Review Permissions next to Connected applications and sites on the security page)
Step 5: Go to the bottom and put in your domain - epesi for the name and click generate password.
Step 6: Copy and paste this password to the Google docs integration in Epesi, click Save and now it should work.
Step 7: After you verify that this works in Epesi then click Done in Google.

Google has enough human resources to develop new features and APIs faster than we can adopt them, so please be aware that some google docs features may be not working. I've got some issues with editing a document, so please be careful, because editing document may destroy it and save some useless html page instead. Sorry.
