Mar 23, 2017 - Often, malware will present you with a dialogue box that resembles a genuine. That the user's Google password was needed in their Mac's Internet Account pane. Why would Google be asking for your password suddenly?
You can try these steps: a. Keychain Access click on System Roots on the left, and then click on Certifcates on the bottom left. Check to see if any of the certificates on the right have the blue '+' symbol - this means they have custom trust settings. There is a bug in changing the policies, so you`ll have to change them via the method below. Changing them just by changing the access to 'system defaults' doesn`t seem to save. The method below worked for me. Double-click on each certificate with the custom setting (blue '+'), d.
Expand the section labled 'trust'. Change the 'Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)' setting to 'no value specified'. Close window - you should be prompted for the password.
Double-click on the certificate again, expand trust, change the 'When using this certificate' setting to 'Use System Defaults'. Close window, and re-enter password. If you didn`t re-enter your password upon closing the window, the setting didn`t take. The blue '+' should disappear after a few seconds when it`s set back to default.

I've a Google account set up on a Mac of mine. OS X version 10.8.4 and everything else is up-to-date. And my Google account uses 2-step authentication. I'm having a problem with my Google account on this Mac in the native Mail app. The problem is that when everything was working fine, one day, all of a sudden Mail asked for my Google password.
I simply created a new application specific password. But after some time the same happened again and I ended up creating another application specific password. Now it's happening again and it's kind of getting annoying. Why does it keep asking for passwords when the one before was right and working? Has anyone else ever had this problem? Also I should mention that my iCloud account, also set up on this Mac, functions perfectly. If you have several devices accessing your Google account via IMAP you can reach the limit of connections Google permits.
The limit is 15 connections per account, however, bear in mind that each client can open multiple connections. In my experience the limit is easily reached with 3 devices. I have read that the Thunderbird email client has a setting to specify how many connections it can open, Mail and Outlook do not have this option. Your Mail client should prompt you with a message along the lines of 'Too many simultaneous connections.'

However I believe on iOS devices and Apple Mail you may see a more generic error. The workaround for this issue is to log in to the GMail web interface, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the 'Details' link.
From the popup window click 'Sign out all other sessions'.
