Remote-authentication.failure Google Analytics connection

[mikeatmshopper]

I cannot connect Google Analytics to my new campaign. I get the remote-authentication.failure each time.

I searched help but there was no resolve I could find for this particular issue.

Thanks!

This is because the page has to be a product, brand, or business page and you need to be using google+ as the page when you try to authenticate. Try signing all the way out of google and back in as the page only and re-adding

I am connecting Google Analytics and getting this error - what does this have to do with my Google+ page?

Good point.
I don't read so good it seems.

Still would suggest making sure to log out of all but the one user so theres no user switching confusion. Always seems to be something to do with that in regard to any google related auth weirdness

Hi Michael,

I see that you posted this question around mid-morning (our time). During that time, we were experiencing some problems with new authentications to Google Analytics and Google+ accounts. I posted some additional information in this Moz Community thread, but the short version is the issue should now be resolved, so you may wish to give it another try. If you're still having trouble authenticating to GA or G+, I encourage you to contact our Help team for further assistance.

Cheers!
