I can no longer access my gmail email account on Safari before and after it was updated.
I tried on Chrome and was able to get in. However, I don't regularly use Chrome and would like to continue accessing my email using Safari.
I cleared cache, cookies, upgraded iOS, restarted computer and removed extensions. Help please
iMac (2017 – 2020)
I was able to fix this problem by going to Safari > Settings > Websites > Content Blockers and change “When visiting other websites” to “Off.” Also, clear all cookies/website data just to be safe.
At least in my issue, it seems that Safari was blocking Google’s authentication requests which led to the 400 error. When I changed that setting, it worked for me. Google uses multiple domains to authenticate (including google.com and youtube.com, and there may be others; I’m not sure). So it’s easier to just turn Safari’s content blocker off than try and find every possible domain Google uses to allow them all manually.
After successfully logging in, you can re-enable your content blocker again.
This worked for me THANK YOU !
In safari --> advanced - disable this while you set it up - that will resolve it.
THANK YOU rostosha
4 hours on the phone with apple and they could not fix this issue, Google doesn't even have a team for this. Terrible support
Temporarily changing the default browser to Chrome worked for me as well. Thanks much!
Thank you very much, Rostosha. It works for me.
You forgot to include the fact that one must have already downloaded Chrome in the first place in order for your method to work... Very important.
Thank you.
Thank you @t-hak,
This is exactly what I did and it worked for me. Thanx again!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for this post and reply.
This worked for me. Thanks. Was unable to download chrome b/c of my region.
That worked perfectly. Thank you
This worked. Thank you so much!!
Thank you! I have spent days trying to fix the Google 400 error while trying to link a new Gmail account to my Apple Mail. This totally worked.
400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.
