I know this is an old thread but I spent over a week on and off trying to get to the bottom of this in 2016. Running OS X. Apple spent 30 min. trying to help, but said issue is on Google side. Google message boards helped lead me to the solution, but it was a combo fix for me. Problem: Kept getting Google Authentication messages in top corner of display. Clicked enter password and it wouldn't take the password even after resetting at Gmail online and making sure no 2nd authentication needed. The secondary problem was with the Apple keychain.
My Solution: Utilities / Keychain Access.app Google Authentication token (Kind: application password) Check that this is the email address you want to fix in the small box check Show Password, then there's a pop up window so enter the computer login password, select allow (to test, then later I checked always allow - not sure if it matters) On the Access tab, select confirm before allowing access (not sure if it matters) then Save. No promises, but that seems to have stopped the authentication error messages and fixed the ability for it to remember the correct password. The email app seems to be working as before. Whew. Good luck. This one was stupidly time-consuming.
