Internet accounts error "Here is what happens System Preferences->Internet Accounts. Click Google to add a new account. Pop up says that I need to authenticate using my browser and has a button to cancel and a button to open safari. Click open safari. Nothing happens. Safari does not open if closed and does not open a window for me to be able to enter credentials if it is open. New pop up opens without me doing anything. This pop up says failed to authenticate. Same thing happens if I click Yahoo, so it’s not a Google issue. Safari works. I can open it and go to any website. I can log into a google account in Safari. We can add the Google to Mail but only if we go to accounts other and manually add imap or smtp servers. However we are not using Calendar because we cannot add a Google account because we never get the opportunity to authenticate in the internet accounts preference pane. The preference pane will not open a browser window in order to add the account." This is what happens, is not a google thing, so please, don't say it's a google thing, be smarter :) its just the pop up that will never ever load when requested from the internet account options. I can use safari with my google (and any other account) but is not working for Internet Accounts I am using a Macbook Pro M1m running Monterey 12.0.1 It's 2022-02-10 and I copied and pasted this issue from a question on 2020... I'm just guessing that this brand has not yet solved the issue and maybe nobody knows how to solve it... But here goes nothing...

I’m experiencing the same issue. I updated my Mac Pro today and my LinkedIn account won’t authenticate for me. I’m eager to find a solution for this.

+1 as they say for both Facebook and LinkedIN (raised issue with Apple Support as well)

I was hoping the recently pushed-out MacOS High Sierra 10.13.5 update would address this, but it did not.

Yep, same here... was hoping.. but nothing worked 😟

Seems to be working for LinkedIn.. now to get facebook back..

The Funny thing is that I talked to LinkedIN support about this about a week ago and they pointed to Apple..

Confirmed, it works for me as well now!

Seems to be working for LinkedIn 🙂

LinkedIn does not prompt me for a password. However, It's not synching any data other than profile pictures: phone, email, job title, company...

Meanwhile, Facebook still gets stuck at password.

LinkedIn is working 100% as it was before on MacBook Pro 10.12.6 and iMac Pro 10.13.5 as of last night, June 6.

No change to Facebook as of today, June 7.

Jun 11, 2018 2:18 AM in response to rrbeuk

Tried that.. no difference I'm afraid - unless somethings changed now.. so will try again..

Aug 4, 2018 2:36 PM in response to zvrk159

I've had the same issue with a brand new MacBook Pro. Facebook and Twitter are no problem.

Went the to address that popped up and was redirected to my LinkedIn account. Useless.

Hi MattiasFrizon,

For FB the solution is create a new app password in Settings>Security>app specific password.

Logout on your mac and re-create a new login with the new password.

Cheers
