In the past, I’m sure I entered my Google password in Mail, or in the Internet Accounts pane of System Preferences, and this Apple support document shows that you enter your password in Mail. One thing that surprises me is this authentication procedure via Safari. I called AppleCare, and they had me create a new user account on the iMac, where the same thing happened, confirming that the problem has something to do with this Mac, rather than my user account. This was only happening on my iMac, which I had updated to macOS 10.4.4 not my MacBook Pro which hadn’t been updated, nor my iPhone. (I later tried creating an app-specific password for Mail on Google, but that was refused it looked like the login it was requesting was not specific to Mail, but to the Google account in general.) Something wasn’t sending the appropriate token back to Mail to allow the login. I entered my email address and password, then a one-time code, and it bounced me back to Mail, but all I saw was this: I clicked Open Safari, and Safari opened a private browsing window with a login page for Google. This morning, when I went into my home office to work, I found that I needed to log into my Google account (I have my personal domain hosted on a Gsuite account) in order to get email. I updated my iMac to macOS 10.4.4 yesterday.
