Gmail account on 2 Macs

[ivanwi11iams]

On my Mac Mini M1, iPad, and iPhone, I have Gmail setup in Internet Accounts. I have an old MBP mid-2014, with Big Sur, and am trying to add that Gmail account on there.

In Internet Accounts, the Gmail account is listed. I merely select Mail and then it states it has to open the browser for me to authenticate. However, it will open the browser and there is no log in screen or anything.

Not sure how else to 'activate' my Gmail account on the MBP. And, if I try to remove Gmail and re-add it, it states that it will remove it from my iPad, Mac Mini M1 and iPhone (since it is linked to iCloud). Weird.

Thoughts...

Hmm. In System Preferences –> General change the default web browser to Safari. Also, disable Firewall if there's any
