How to get around redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob.

I changed my email for google and gmail. Now, I cannot access my email on my MacBook Pro

late 2011 version. It gives me this: redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob. I was able to sign out of mail on my iPhone and log back in with my update password, but there is nowhere on my MacBook Pro where I can sign out and sign back in with my updated password to gain back access. Any ideas?

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…


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

Using app passwords with apps that don't support two-step verification (microsoft.com)

What about application passwords? Will that keep working?

If application passwords are being used for MFA (Multi Factor Authentication) along with basic auth as another auth mechanism, then when basic authentication is disabled, app passwords used for MFA will stop working too.

Where can I find more information?

There are several resources that we wanted to provide here as additional reading:

Error 400: invalid_request


No puedes iniciar sesión en esta aplicación porque no cumple con la política OAuth 2.0 de Google destinada a mantener seguras las aplicaciones.


Puedes decirle al desarrollador que su aplicación no cumple una o varias reglas de validación de Google.

  • I'm having the same problem here. Few days ago, my HD crashed and I had to switch it for a new SSD (macOS Sierra 10.12.6, Mid 2010). BTW, the Mail was working just fine before the HD crashes.
  • When i try to connect/link my Gmail at my Mail, it returns an Autorization error "redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob".
  • I can access my Gmail on any Browser, but not on my Mail from Mac.


Please help?

Hello, this is a real struggle for me.

Anyone found a solution to this ?

  • redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob

It has always worked well till I had changed passwords for google.

I cannot even add anymore Gmail accounts in the APP.


It is crucial I am synced with all my work.


I cannot believe this is happening on such a massively appreciated product.


Please if any one can help I need a fix.

Amazing!! Thank you this worked. The actual hard part for me was finding the original steps, I was trying to log into my gmail account through the website, but I guess I just needed to go to google.com, log into my account from there go to setting and then follow the rest of your instructions from there. Thank you again! was worried I was going to have to change computers!
