There are 3 simple fixes that can address the Google Unable to Authenticate Issue in Pokemon GO:

1. Manually close Pokemon GO and reopen it.

   • Untick the “Adventure Sync” option.
3. Toggle Airplane Mode

Unfortunately, logging in isn’t the only issue with the game right now. Niantic has made Remote Raid Passes much harder to get in Pokemon GO!
