Gmail users note: Even though you may have created your account at Blubrry.com with your Gmail email address and password, upon completing your first sign-in you were asked to enter a new password. This new password is specifically for Blubrry Services Integration. Because of limitations with the authentication protocol available by Google, we cannot use your Gmail password in our API.
