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!

Legend!! Thanks so much!!
I tried doing this, but after entering the 16 character password, I get a message that the Account Already Exists. What do I do know? Very reluctant to delete existing account from the Mac.
If it's an IMAP account you won't lose anything, but as soloIMac says, do a backup.:)
