Why does Safari show 400 Error for Gmail?

I just created a new gmail account. Safari browser on Mac with current iOS keeps asking for a new password. When I click link I get the message: 400. That’s an error.The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. Please advise how to make work with Safari as I'm not interested in another browser.

Mac's Mail App is not as modern as iOS's Mail app, Many eMail providers now require a separate App Password different from your eMail password…

If it's an IMAP account, delete it in Sys Prefs Internet Accounts then use "Other" instead of gMail choice to add it.

Most likely biggest factor is using Other in Mail setup, then using a Browser that doesn’t have gMail PW stored init to get the App PW.


It might just need an App Password separate from the gMail password…

Ah, yes, sorry, out of ideas other than what I posted, was responding to the new user posting inyour thread.


Oh wait, you might try this as a test, be sure to use Other instead of google when starting setup.


To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...


Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.


Does it work in the new account?
