Apple mail google requires completing authetication in safari
A frustrating issue!
It sounds like you're trying to access your Google account from Apple Mail, but you're being prompted to complete authentication in Safari instead. This is likely due to a security feature implemented by Google to protect your account.
Here are a few possible solutions to help you resolve this issue:
- Try using a different browser: Instead of using Safari, try accessing your Google account from a different browser, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. This might allow you to complete the authentication process without being redirected to Safari.
- Disable "Open in Safari" in Apple Mail: Go to Apple Mail's preferences, click on "Accounts", select your Google account, and uncheck the box next to "Open in Safari". This should allow you to access your Google account directly from Apple Mail without being redirected to Safari.
- Use the Google Apps account settings: Go to your Google Apps account settings (https://admin.google.com) and check if the "Allow less secure apps" option is enabled. If it's not, try enabling it and see if that resolves the issue.
- Use the Google Mail app: If you have the Google Mail app installed on your device, try using it to access your Google account instead of Apple Mail. This might bypass the authentication redirect to Safari.
- Reset your Google account password: If none of the above solutions work, you might need to reset your Google account password. This will ensure that your account is properly authenticated and should resolve the issue.
I hope one of these solutions helps you resolve the issue and access your Google account from Apple Mail without being redirected to Safari!
