internet account adding is not working with Google Accounts and even with yahoo accounts
Hi All,
I have this issue with adding the internet account in mac to mail app build by mac os.There are several questions in the community including this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251166138"I have several Mac Book Pros we just added that cannot add Google Accounts. We set them up new and users cannot add an internet account. When we try to add, we see a pop up saying that Google needs to authenticate in a browser and click Open Safari. Nothing happens." I also had the same issue I have resolved by chaing the default browser option in general settings to Google chrome it also gave me issue I changed it to Brave browser. I saved the changes and now I have added the internet account for google gmail account. Need for authentication page appeared in the brave browser.I am able to authenticate and it get added to my mail app in mac os.
Step1: Change the default browser settings in setting->General->Default web browser:Brave
Step2:Add google account in the Internet Accounts
Step 3: Click on open Browser
Step 4: The google accounts page will open in the brave web browser
Step 5:
The google account will be added to the internet accounts in the mac
