 * I’m having this same error occur when I click the on the button to authenticate
   with google. When I tell it to allow I’m prompted to log in to a gmail account.
   There isn’t a gmail account associated with my site however so what creds do 
   I use?

 * I’m having the same issue. Furthermore it refuses to let me enter a UA-code manually.
   Ticking the box does absolutely nothing. It keeps wanting me to authenticate 
   with a google-account. What am I doing wrong?

 * You’re serious… four people’s question could be answered in a single thread but
   you would prefer us each open a separate topic, all on the same matter? Anyone
   have an answer for the OP?

 * Yes. These forums have [guidelines](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome)–
   specifically states:
 * >  Unless you are using the same version of WordPress on the same physical server
   > hosted by the same hosts with the same plugins, theme & configurations as the
   > original poster, **do not** post in someone else’s thread. **Start your own
   > topic**.
 * Please abide by this.

 * The solution is to manually enter UA code as directed in the forum post below!
