Hi everyone!

I have 2-Step Verification enabled on my Google account, so after I turned it on, I had to create Google App Passwords, in order to use them when I wanted to add my Google account in the settings of the Mail App, instead on my normal Google account password.

Yesterday, I restored my phone and noticed that I didn't have to use App Passwords anymore, I was given the option to login with my Google credentials.

The problem is, that I enter my credentials and after that, while it recognizes them as correct, it doesn't give me the option to save the account, instead it goes straight back to the first screen and makes me put the credentials again.

I tried with another Google account and it worked fine. Also, I tried disabling 2-Step Verification, but it didn't work...

Any ideas what the problem might be? Do you think that it might have to do with the fact that I use my iCloud email as the main one on my Google account and I have not set a Gmail address for it?

Thank you in advance!
