Why won't my Apple Mail on my MacBook (OS is Monterey) connect to my Gmail IMAP Account?

Mail keeps prompting me saying I need to enter my password for the gmail address even though I already input it in the Account Settings in Mail), and that Google is requiring authentication in my web browser. The choices are "Cancel or "Connect to web browser" but when I select "Connect to web browser," it won't connect. It just stalls and spins the circling arrow forever.

Verify your safari browser is set to the default browser— if having to interact with gmail setup/verification

and compare your results

Make Safari your default web browser on Mac - Apple Support
