A few weeks ago, I changed my Google account password. Ever since then, GNOME keeps prompting me for my Google account password - but it won't accept either the new password or the old one. I just have to cancel the dialog box.
I don't know about how to solve this, but I'm seeing the same problem and it started around the same time it seems. Did you get anywhere with this?
FWIW I haven't changed my password for a long time. The dialog box just started appearing and doesn't accept the password.
I'm going to try to investigate later.
I had a similar problem with gmail, I found I had to decrease the security settings, there is now a 2-step more secure login/password setup for gmail..

To turn off enhanced two-step verification for your Gmail account:
* Go to the Google /2-step verification https://accounts.google.com/b/0/SmsAuthConfig?hl=en&service=mail/ page. * If prompted, enter your Gmail password under /Password:/ and click /Sign in/. * Click /Turn off 2-step verification…/. * Now click /OK/.
