Monterey upgraded to 12.5 (21G72) and Mail showed 'Login failed' when my Macbook rebooted. My Gmail account still works on webmail and my iPhone and says I'm logged in. How do I get Mail to recognise I'm logged in?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
Good work on the Reboot aspect.
Try restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
Does the issue present in this mode ?
Sorry the issue persists but do not use Google e-Mail - personal preferences.
Is Apple Mail using POP or IMAP configurations ?

An app password is a 16-digit passcode that gives a non-Google app or device permission to access your Google Account. App passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on.
Yes, it's still a problem. I went to Internet Accounts and selected Google, which showed this message -
Google requires completing authentication in your web browser.
After authentication, set-up will continue in Internet Accounts.
After authentication I got this message -
This account already exists.
You are already signed into the account
Mail still shows 'Login failed'.
Welcome but in reality - you the user solved the issue.
Good work there 👍 🇨🇦
Thanks, but I've got 2-Step Verification turned on and the only thing that's changed is a reboot with 12.5 (21G72). I've tried rebooting again, as it often solves problems, but not this problem.
I've now resolved the problem by going to Internet Accounts and clicking on each account, which opened Enter the password for the account. Thank you for your help.
