on PC and in the android app , there are 2 ways to sign in to overdrive - one is with a library (card number) account the other is with an overdrive account ( email and password pair)
try the latter method - create an email based overdrive account if you don't already have one and link it to your library card via the overdrive PC interface
they work differently but in obscure technical ways. [ i quizzed overdrive but remained just as confused! ] Login with an overdrive account route is arguably better for use across multiple devices.
dunno for sure if the ONE has that option but try it if you can
Or, if that's the route that's not working, see if the other (library card) route works ?
