I am having the exact same problem with my application (though with
Python API).

When doing Programmatic Login, I get an error ("Incorrect username or
password") but am able to sign into Picasa using the same username/
password.  I've gone through all of the settings for privacy and
permissions, can't see why this would be occurring.  The system works
perfectly well with my Gmail-linked account.

Did you find a solution?

Regards,
Nick Doiron
