When I try to create android ID, I get following error:

I confirm the error message. When clicking on the Url in the error, I'm arriving at a google page indefinitely saying "One moment please..."

[petRUShka]

@DamienCassou, same behaviour on click.

go here: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
and turn on

Thanks

I have the impression that https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha is also necessary

[petRUShka]

It seems that lesssecureapps is enough.

I use two-factor authentication, and had to make an application-specific password. I don't think the URL that it vomits up can do anything for android-checkin.
