Asked to uninstall/re-install Google+ but cannot connect to server

[Android Central Question]

This question both is and is not answered in this forum. The proposed solution was to turn off Google's two-step security in my Google account settings. This works for a lot of people apparently, but even after doing that I still had the same problem. After a lot of searching on the web, I found that the Google servers also do not like it if the phone's time and date are incorrect. After checking my time/date, I found that the time was off by one hour. After fixing that, I could connect to Google servers and re-install Google+. This had been a headache for so long before I solved it that I wanted to share it in case it happens to anyone else and simply turning off two-step verification does not solve the problem. So, basically I'm asking and answering the question in hopes of helping some other poor soul who may stumble upon this post and suddenly feel relieved.
