Sync errors on the bookmarks bar
If your sync sign-in information becomes outdated, you may see a sync error notification on the bookmarks bar.
Steps to follow to fix this issue:
- Click the error for exact details.
- If you’re prompted to sign in, enter your normal Google Account username and password. 2-step verification users: Do not enter an application-specific password here.
- If you use 2-step verification, you may next be asked to enter an “application-specific password” or an “access code”. In either case, generate the password on your Authorising applications and sites page and paste it into the dialogue.

- Click Configure password sync in the message at the bottom of the New Tab page.
- Enter your normal Google Account username and password.
