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?
MacBook Pro
I found a solution to this!
- Sign into the Google Account you want to add to Apple Mail
- Go to Settings, and select Security
- Select Two-Factor Authentication, and set this up.
- Once done, at the bottom, you’ll see App Password. Select that.
- Name the app (I used Apple Mail), and generate 16 character password.
- Copy that password
I’ve seen these steps before, and tried and tried to get someone to answer my question of “now what?”, as I couldn’t find anywhere to use it.
Then I tried this and it worked:
- Open System Preferences, and select Internet Accounts
- Scroll the list up, and select “Add Other Account
- In the list, select Mail account
- Enter the Gmail address in “Email address:”
- Paste the 16 character password in “Password:”
It took a few seconds, but then the Gmail account showed up in Apple Mail!
You’ll notice it isn’t displayed as a “G” account in the list of Internet Accounts, but who cares?! It works!
I hope it works for you too!
I’m using Google Chome.
Ok I’ll give that a try and let you know if it works. Thanks so much for the info.
I tried that but my computer would not reboot under the new admin. Thank you for all the suggestions though.
I have the same problem and get the same message. Can't figure. out what to do next
It depends on which operating system you are using. I had to upgrade from 10.6 to the last but one and everything worked. Had to renter poaewords.

In a Browser login to your WebMail at gmail.com
i was wondering why i can't update my macbook air os to a few version
That didn’t work, but thanks for the suggestion.
hello i have a problem with e-mail can not connect to the network...
Big changes for eMail Auth, in a browser can you use the same credentials to login to your WebMail?
Yes I can, but it doesn’t seem to matter. I’m guessing my Max is too, mine is a late 2011 version
google email is not working
no it's not
Only choices are a 3rd art Maul App like Spark, or using WebMail in a Browser at gmail.com
