Im an occasional blogger using Google Blogger platform since 2009 and Windows Live writer was previously my only favorite writing software to post my articles from.

Since Google changed something to their privacy etc, they are inviting Bloggers to use Open Live Writer to post their articles, instead of Windows Live Writer.

Furthermore to this, I've used Windows Live Writer for several years but since 2013 I never used it and I almost forget how did I configure it with my Blogger that time and now when I tried (first WLW) to configure it says your Username and Password is incorrect so I searched on Google and found that I should install Open Live Writer but (secondly) on the Open Live Writer I'm facing the same problem.

- Installed the Open Live Writer

- Setup / configuration is same like Windows Live Writer

- Placing my blog URL (including https:// because my blog is on HTTPS) correctly.

- Putting my Google username and password (the one I'm using to login to Blogger) correctly, and I have no 2 steps verification security on my Google logins. 

- Chose the blogging platform, in my case its Blogger (on the second number in the drop down menu).

===THE PROBLEM STARTS HERE===

- Now, it shows me "Remote Posting Web Address for your blog:" which I cannot understand, and didn't changed at all.

- But when I press "Next", it appears the same error message that "The username or password is incorrect".

NOW, MY QUESTION IS THAT, IF THE "OPEN LIVE WRITER" IS A MICROSOFT SOFTWARE, CAN ANYONE GUIDE ME HOW GET RID OF THIS ISSUE.

ANY HELP AND SUGGESTION WILL BE APPRECIATED.

THANKS
