Trying to begin use of Tab 3 pruchased used.  No sim card but signed to Wifi Seems to work okay at first but...  Google sign-in just won't proceed beyond the point of entering existing account user name.  Tried it several times.  There was a message sent to mobile phone asking to verify we were trying to sign in on a new device.  Answered positivel and the Tab 3 just sat there doing nothing. 

What should I do/try next?

      @JVP6 That device is 13 years old. Sorry, but due to extremely outdated security certificates I doubt that you will be able to successfully log into Google or any other secure account.
