Unable to log into my google account only on Android

[Android Central Question]

Hi,

Been using my HTC 10 for a while with no issues, then last night experienced my first random crash with this device. When I had restarted it. I was logged out of my google account, twitter and a few other apps. Message of "You were signed out of your google account".

I have tried to log back in around 20 times, now correct password (I am 100% sure of this, tried on all my other devices, PC, Chromebook, nvdia shield) and then 2nd step verification. It auto detects the text message:
Says "checking info" then sends me back to the start, with the error mesage "Account action required" which when selected shows "You were signed out of your google account". This circle continues ad infinitum, without ever logging me into google services.

Help!

maybe you need to reset it

I too am experiencing this problem.
I haven't changed my google password in over a decade. I have even tried using the other options to sign in to no avail.

I have a HTC 10 and yesterday (27th Oct) had exactly the same problem. I can log in my Google account on a web browser / Chromebook no problem. There's been no suspicious activities on my account, I just can't log in my Google account on the HTC 10, I am just in a sign in loop! "You're logged out" -> Log in -> 2-factor-auth -> Sign in.... back to "You're logged out"

Perhaps try removing the account from the device, then adding it again.

Tried this, account removed, now unable to add the account. Settings -> Accounts -> Add account -> Sign in -> Accept terms -> goes back to home screen (no account added)

Had this problem myself, removed google accounts and somehow got one added again but couldnt add my second. After the crash the HTC account kept asking me to resign in also. So I deleted that account and tried adding the second google account again. This time it worked for some reason.
