Dolphin is currently investigating this issue. To work around the issue, the following steps may help:

1. Log into your Gmail account in a web browser.

2. Choose "Settings" (cog icon)

3. Choose "Security"

4. Next to "2 Step Verification - OFF" - turn this on.

Note: you will need to have access to the phone which you used to create your account in order to receive a security code.

You should now have an option available called "App Passwords".  Choose "Create New" - give the app a descriptive name, for example GuideConnect, then enter a password that meets the criteria specified.

Once done, restart GuideConnect if already running and attempt to set up your Gmail account once more, entering the newly created password when prompted.
