Hi,

Sorry if this question is pretty naive;

I’m running OSX 10.12.6 and Mail won’t let me use my Gmail account anymore. 400 error thing. Google won’t let Mail set up my account. Just gives me an error.

It’s there a workaround for this common problem anyone knows about?

Upgrade, yes. No. Cant.

I’m not outlining the whole issue because if you had this happen, you know.

The common solution on Google with the App password selection doesn’t show up as an option anymore when I use a browser to log on.

Any ideas?

App passwords is a solution for you. It requires 2FA enabled in your account for it to work / show up.

App passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on.
