adding a gmail account to Mac Mail
I changed the password on my Gmail account and Mail won't accept the new password.

I just answered a similar question about Gmail in Mac Mail app and the OP had success in changing the preferred browser which permitted the Google authentication in the new browser choice. The Gmail account addition was then completed. Perhaps it will work for you also?
One common failure in adding a Gmail as a Mac Mail account is when Google doesn't co-operate with Safari. Many users have had success using another browser to authenticate with Google where they have failed with Safari.
Open another browser, it should ask you if you want it as the preferred browser. If so, answer yes and then proceed to add your Gmail account in Mail. Remember to revisit your choice of preferred browser if you want to stick with Safari.

Try deleting the Gmail account from your device and add it again.
Thank you! I was able to add the Gmail account to Mac Mail after changing my default browser to Chrome.
What version of macOS are you running? You can find it in > About this Mac.
Than you! I did that first. After I went through the process of adding a new gmail account, I got this message at the end of the process:
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
I was able to change the password on my iPhone, but not on my Mac
