Gmail works fine on my iPad and iPhone but google fails the login with a 400 error using Safari on my iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)Mac OS Monterey 12.7.3 Safari history deleted, gmail account deleted in Mail app., iCloud gmail turned off, restarted and no luck. I can login to my google account fine and turned off 2 factor authentication. Still fails to allow me to add back my gmail acct to Mail app. What is the fix???

UPDATE:

The problem was that Google does not play well with Safari and won't even let you know the error is their fault. I launched Chrome browser and was finally able to get my gmail account back on Apple Mail on my iMac.
