TechnoLust's Journal: Gmail weirdness...

So I have two gmail accounts. One is the [e-mail] that some of you have, and then I made an annonymous one too. I log into both and check them every day. I have the little auto checker plugins to Firefox that checks them too. So the anonymous one when I log in, it works as expected. When I try to log into my "real" one, it kicks me out and puts up an image box asking me to type in the letters I see in the squiggles. I type the letters and the EXACT SAME password I just typed that it didn't accept and it goes through. Anyone else have this problem?

nope. but then again, it could be related to the multiple accounts you have. the two cookies could possibly be confusing the gmail servers....

I have two accounts

Siliconjesus at gmail dot com and "first initial last name at gmail dot com" I don't see any of those problems, but I'm only using FireFox .92 to view them, not an auto-checker.

I saw that gmail was going to crack down on third-party checkers. Maybe that's what's happening to you. I have my anon account I use on here and my [e-mail] as well, and I've seen no problems.

the thing is that, today, I left my laptop at home, so I'm not using the autochecker. I'm posting from IE today. :-(

In that case, they should just filter your sorry ass out entirely.

I've had that

I've had that when I check multiple accounts -- they're making sure you're not an automated process.

Gmail

I have 3 gmail accounts. The only one that gives me any kind of trouble is my main one -firstinitiallastname at gmail dot com. Of course, that's about the only one I use.

Yesterday, for about an hour, I was unable to send emails from that account. I could receive the emails, but I couldn't send replies or send any new emails that I composed. However, I could send emails from the other 2 accounts just fine. I tried sending email from both IE and Firefox 0.9.3. I never could figure out what the problem was.

May I please have an invite, if you have any left? pingpongmozart fat yahoo blot com is my address, replace fat and blot with at and dot.

It's on its way.

Yes, same problem

If you turn off the auto-checker thing (mine is the firefox plugin), or tell it to not automatically log in, you can check both email addresses. I usually just check the other in a different browser. I think it doesn't like you being logged into two accounts from the same browser.

My guess is the plugin wins and the other account can't get logged in.
