Unable To Access Gmail Account From Gmail Application.

Until 5 days ago, everything was cool. I was able to access my gmail account from Android gmail application.
Recently, I thought I need to make my account more secure.So,
- I changed my password
- Added Phone number security
- Linked Google authenticator

Now, I am unable to access gmail account from gmail application of android, mainly because i have added 3 to 4 layers of security & most probably the "authenticator".
Is it any possible other way of accessing gmail account from gmail app ?
I can access gmail account from browser, but browsers doesn't allows me to sync the mails which makes my work even more time consuming.

Any successful help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

    I think there's a link given to you when you log in from your mobile (android app) which says 'Approve from other device' , and then you can approve it from your desktop....

    Ok, is it showing you the log in screen on the app?

    Just enter your ID and pass , then what does it show..?

    I wonder how could this happen, as according to me, you would have been logged in, but it would ask you for extra security layers, or will give you an option to review your login from desktop browser... 😲

    Hmm... wipe out the cache, and if it doesn't work, try deleting and re -installing GMail app...

    I hope it works fine then..

    Can you try to access from mobile default browser (Google's one).
    If no luck then try clearing devliK cache.

    Are you running 2.3 Gingerbread??
    Then, according to google you should get this error and might be your solution:

    #-Link-Snipped-# It's Custom ROM.
    Anyways,Dalvik-cache removed. Gmail removed using Root-browser. Reinstalled Gmail & made it system application using Link2sd.
    Ta da! It works now,Thank you all 😀
