Jeff,

Thanks for your suggestion. The non-gmail account I am using exists *both* as a normal Google account *and* a Google Apps domain. However, I tried your suggestion and it also raises the same 'gdata.service.BadAuthentication: Incorrect username or password' exception.

This functionality is being added for an app that enables users to post directly to their Blogger blogs, and as such I need to be able to have it work with any Blogger login. Support has already been added for WordPress, LiveJournal, and others, but the broken Blogger tool is causing headaches.

Any other suggestions? Based on all of the tests I've done, it looks more and more like a problem with the API, but I'd be happy to be wrong about that. :)

Thanks again,

Cory

Hi Cory,

Since you mention that the account which is failing is both a Google Account and an Apps account, the issue might be a mismatch in passwords. Does it work if you try account_type = 'HOSTED' instead of 'GOOGLE'?

In the past I set up two accounts with the same email address (one in Apps, one a Google Account) and gave them different passwords so that it would be obvious which account was being used. Here is the explanation in that thread, perhaps it will be helpful.

Happy coding,

Jeff

Hi Cory,

Does this non-gmail account happen to belong to a Google Apps domain? If so, you might try adding the following to get_blogger_service:

blogger.account_type = 'GOOGLE'

Please let me know if this helps.

Cheers,
