Cannot Authenticate Google Account

I installed and activated Google Analytics by Yoast in my WP 4.3 website.

I have attempted to add my UA-Profile several times, I can’t tell if it has succeeded. From inside that property in my Google Analytics account it shows Status: Tracking Not Installed.

Whenever I enter my Tracking ID in the plugin settings, it appears to accept it and reload, but the field is empty upon reload. (that may be by design)

I have not been able to complete the step of authenticating with my google account. When I click the button the button rollover flickers, but nothing whatsoever happens and I remain on the settings page.

Thanks for help!
