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. Today, I changed my Gmail password. After doing that, I had to login to my gmail account on Apple mail. I first get "Google requires completing authentication in your web browser." Accepting this takes me to a window in Safari titled "Sign in to continue to macOS". I enter my email address. On the next window, I enter my password. Then I do two factor auth through YouTube. The next window is "Sign in to macOS By continuing, Google will share your name, email address, language preference, and profile picture with macOS. " I click continue and get "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 tried several suggestions from other similar questions with no luck. I'd appreciate any help.

Adding "other email account" will not work, sign in is inactive I have a strange issue. Working with Ventura, tried to add new account that is not by icloud, gmail etc. Chosen like always before "add other account". I am choosing email account. Prompt to give name, username and password. Whatever I put in, the "sign in" button remains inactive. Attached is the printscreen. I tried starting up from "settings" and from "mail" app. Force quit the mail, restarting system...nothing works. There is no error, I just can't press "sign in".

You have the wrong hardware mapping checked, probably British PC or Spanish instead of US. See

Hardware Keyboard for iPad/iPhone Produce… - Apple Community

This will hopefully tell you how to type @ if needed in the meantime.
