I was getting this last night on my Xperia S and Xperia ion as well. It seems to have cleared up for me though. Maybe Google was/is having some issues or something.

I have this as well. Tried signing in but keeps coming up.
Everything is working so I have just left.

I thought was google+ too, but after uninstall it and reboot, after a couple of hours, same error...it's something with g-apps in general. I have a XPeria Play

Xperia Play

Same error.

I've got the same error too.
But everything (play store, mail etc) works even with the error.

This started happening after I updated my apps yesterday. Google Maps, Google + etc.

I am running stock gingerbread 2.3.6 on my i717 galaxy note.

I thought it was malware, so I have been just cancelling the request and my phone and all services continue to work normally.

Same problem here too and Problem started yesterday night here in KL. I'm using an HTC Incredible S btw.
It's getting really annoying now so hopefully Google will get it fixed ASAP.

Mine stopped last night. Haven't gotten the error again since then.

Got it this morning (HTC Sensation 4G). Trying to enter my correct password didn't help. Meanwhile, all Google accounts work fine.

Went to Google+ and did "Sign Out" and signed in again. The notification disappeared. Bur after a while it reappeared again.

Doing "Sign Out" -> sign in in Google+ clears it for a while, but it eventually reappears.

i had this today too

i'm now a bit concerned

can anyone confirm that this is actually officially google? or could it be another third party app pretending to be google to get my password?

i'm concerned because i tried putting my password in and it would not accept it....but if it's not actually from google team. maybe now someone has my password? but i don't want to go through all the hassle of changing my password if it's not necessary

Not sure what the problem is but like one of the posters said after updating the google apps it started but mine also stopped last night.

Okay it stopped for some time. Returned again.
Seems to happen only when auto syncing.
Is this google?

I had the same problem on my GF's phone and my Xperia S as well, on hers it was a sync error with google+, on mine it was a sync error with bookmarks. It went away after a i switched the sync off then on.

1. Go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync
2. Open "Google" section
3. Uncheck all Google accounts (i.e. disable sync for Picasa, Google+, contacts, calendar, everything)
4. Enable just one Google sync account and hit "Sync now" button
5. Wait for the sync to finish
6. See if it makes the "bad password" notification to appear
7. Do steps 4-6 for each individual Google sync account (Picasa, Google+, contacts etc. one by one)

That way you will find the culprit. In my case it is Google+. I think this should be the same with all other phones. They screwed something up with background syncing for Google+. For now, uncheck "Sync Google+" in your Google sync settings and the problem should go away. I hope they fix it soon.

Meanwhile, the Google+ app works perfectly fine. And doing Sign Out -> Sign In in Google+ clears that notification.

thanks for the info, so it is definitely a google issue, not some third party app trying to steal our passwords? that's good to know

fixed for now

I had the same problem, until just after I got off work at 11 and turned on my phone, and now it's accepting my new password and updating all my applications and syncing everything. Everything is fine now, but I'll post if anything changes, I hope Google has fixed this issue because that notification was really annoying.

Oh and I have the Tmobile prepaid Samsung Exhibit II 4g with a rooted Android 2.3 Gingerbread operatng system.
