My icloud e
My icloud e-mail has been working fine on my android device forever. After my most recent software update my e-mail started saying my password was incorrect. I tried signing in on my computer, so I know the password I'm using is correct. I deleted my icloud e-mail account and tried to set it up again and now I'm getting the error message "unable to aunthenticate" "failed to set up account". Can someone help me?
There is a new requirement that an app-specific password rather than your usual Apple ID password be used when accessing iCloud email from a non-Apple app. In order to get an app-specific password you must have two-factor authentication or two-step verification turned on.

I have the same issue and have set-up an app specific password and still am unable to set up the account.

I have followed the Apple Support doc and also am consulting SAMSUNG in a Twitter conversation... everything was working until the Samsung update before last...

For the password, are you using the app-specific password exactly -- including the dashes?
yes
I gotten as far as setting the account to TLS accept all and now it (error message) says the server is not responding.
Daniellec0322,
My google pixel is experiencing the same issue and it's now August 3, 2017 and no resolve has been officiated.
