It said that this move is part of its ongoing efforts to ensure user security, and provided a way to check the Android version in the article. If users log in to a device running Android 2.3.7 or lower after September 27, they may encounter username or password errors when trying to use Google products and services such as Gmail, YouTube, and Maps. In addition, the following operations may also result in username or password errors:

• Reset your device to factory settings and try logging in
• Change your password on your device or another device, then sign out everywhere else. When you try to sign in again, you will receive the error message
• Delete the account from the device and add it again
• Create an account on your device

Therefore, Google recommends that users update to Android 3.0+. If the user's device cannot be updated to Android 3.0+, you can try to log in to your Google account on the device's web browser, so that you can still use some Google services.
