Gmail continually prompting me to enter password in System Preferences

This is driving me nuts! I keep getting this notification:


When I click continue, I'm taken to this System Preferences and get this message:

I click "open browser" and it opens this window... but never goes anywhere. I just have to cancel it out. But the weird thing is my gmail account in question is working great and is setup fine.


How do I make this daily reminder notification go away?

If you are using Chrome as well and have it set as your default browser—try changing that to Safari as your default browser and test your Gmail in question...(?)

Hey @Leroydouglas - sad to report this didn't work. This morning that stupid message was back. Same behavior of opening the previously blank window and immediately closing itself out, however. (After I posted the success message yesterday, I returned my default browser to Chrome)


Stand by until tomorrow to see if this takes!
