This is bad news for Android phone users. This is because Google will not offer login support on Android phones running 2.3.7 or lower. It is understood from an email sent by Google to users that the change will take effect on September 27.

Older phone users are advised to update to at least Android 3.0 Honeycomb to continue using Google Apps after September 27. This will affect logging at the system and application level. But users must be able to sign in to Gmail, Google Search, Google Drive, YouTube and other Google services through their phone’s browser.
In your report, 9to5Google shared a screenshot of an email sent to potentially affected users of this change. The number of these users is very low, they are using very old versions of Android. Google is making changes to user account security and data security.
On phones running Android 2.3.7 and lower since September 27, users will see a “username or password error” when they try to sign in to any Google apps they’ve loaded. This email may be seen as a warning to some users. which are still older software versions. These users are urged to update software or switch phones.
The app will not work even after a factory reset
The report says that after September 27, users of older Android versions will see an error when they try to sign in to Google products and services, such as Gmail, YouTube, and Maps. If users try to factory reset by signing up for a new Google account or a new phone, they will still see the same error on their phone screen. Users will see this error even after creating a new password and logging in again.
