 * When I attempt to Authenticate with Google, I click Grant Access and it returns
   to the plugin screen and says “Unfortunately, an error occurred while connecting
   to Google, please try again:” Trying again returns the same error.

 * I had the same issue. To correct it, I created a Google Analytics account in 
   Google and then attempted to Authenticate again. It worked that time.
 * Good luck!

 * I have a Google Analytics account that worked fine until I updated. So do I now
   have to create a new one?
