I don't think this issue is specific to PyDrive, but rather Google OAuth. However, some of the solutions I've seen on stackoverflow don't seem to be transferable over to my PyDrive application, which is just a python script to upload files programmatically to a shared drive. It worked fine 2 months ago but I tried to rerun it today and it's not working. Here is the error I'm getting:
Authorisation Error
Error 400: invalid_request
You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure.
You can let the app developer know that this app doesn't comply with one or more Google validation rules.

redirect_uri: urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
I am using a web application OAuth 2.0 Client ID creds on GCP. All secrets are stored in a local client_secrets.json file.
I run my script, it sends a message to the console that says
Go to the following link in your browser:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=blahblahblah.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fdrive&access_type=offline&response_type=code
Enter verification code:
How it used to work: After I click the link above, it returns a code I paste into the console and then its authenticated. FYI: I plan on running this 24/7 on a remote server.
Now: I click the link above and get the error I posted above. I've tried to change the redirect uri to 127.0.0.1 and it does allow me to auth, then I get a code in my URL, but once I copy that and paste it into the console, I get more errors.
Anyone know the solution for this?
I recently encountered a SwiftMail error while trying to send a mail through gmail.
Expected response code 250 but got code "535", with message "535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.
I was trying to send mail through my gmail and google thought that I was a spam(maybe because I was requesting too fast) I received a mail from them saying my account was access and I told them it was me. I was able to send mail without problem and it just occured now.
This is the contents of my env file.
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=talentscoutphil#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=mypasswordhere
MAIL_FROM=talentscoutphil#gmail.com
MAIL_NAME=talentscout
I researched on the internet and some answers includes enabling the "access for lesser app" and "unlocking gmail captcha" which sadly didn't work for me until I found the 2-step verification.
What I did the following was:
enable the 2-step verification to google HERE
Create App Password to be use by your system HERE
I selected Others (custom name) and clicked generate
Went to my env file in laravel and edited this
MAIL_USERNAME=talentscoutphil#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=thepasswordgenerated
Restarted my apache server and boom! It works again.
This was my solution. I created this to atleast make other people not go wasting their time researching for a possible answer.
I had the same problem, changing my gmail password fixed the issue, and also don't forget to enable less secure app on on your gmail account
i had same issue i resolve this use under
go to gmail.com
my account
and enable
Allow less secure apps: ON
it start works
I had everything fine. Less secure app option was also enabled. Still, I was getting the error. What I have done is:
Google will send you Critical security alert
Then you have to authorize that activity. ( Clicking on 'YES, THAT WAS ME' type thing )
Then you can try sending email again.
From May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.
Important: This deadline does not apply to Google Workspace or Google Cloud Identity customers. The enforcement date for these customers will be announced on the Workspace blog at a later date.

This is my .env mail settings
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.googlemail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=example#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=hello27
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
i was getting thesame error as stated in the question but by using
php artisan config:cache
Everything worked fine
Gmail tends to block usage of mailing addresses which are being used in other applications as username for security reasons. Either you should create a new email address for mail purpose or you must go to the Less Secure App Access and turn on the access for less secure apps. Gmail will send you a mail for confirmation from where you can verify that those changes were made by yourself. Only then, you can use such mailing addresses for mailing purpose through applications.
There is no need to update anything in config/mail.php. just put you credential in .env with this specific key's. This is my .env file.
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=example#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=********
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
I had the same issue after long time debugging and googling i have found the solution. that by enabling less secure apps. the email started working.
if your gmail is secure with 2 step verification you can't enable less secure app. so turn off 2 step verification and enable less secure app. by click here enable less secure apps on your gmail account
This single step worked for me... No 2-step verification.
As I had created a dummy account for my local development, so I was OK with this setting.
Make sure you only do this if your account contains NO personal or any critical data.
This is just another way of tackling this error and NOT secure.
I turned ON the setting to alow less secured apps to be allowed access.
Form here :
https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps
I had the same problem, then I did this two steps:
Enable "Allow less secure apps" on your google account security policy.
Restart your local servers.
I encountered the same issue and solved it with no 2FA enabled ("Allow less secure apps" is still in need).
After checking Google error code list, I thought maybe there are some errors in .env.
Below settings are tested in Laravel 8 and worked:
MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=username#gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD='your#password_here' # put the password in quotes
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=username#gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="${APP_NAME}"
Please remember that put the password in quotes. That works for me.
If your using your cpanel custom email, change your host from smtp.gmail.com to your domain name. it worked for me
As from May 30, 2022 Google has stopped the support of third-party apps or devices which ask you to signin to your Google Account using only your username and password.
To solve this,
make sure you that you have enabled 2-step verification.
Then select App paswords.
select app and device you want to generate the app password for.
on select app select mail then on device choose and name a custom device.
After that, a password will be generated for you to use. Replace your original password with the generated password. Refresh or upload your files to the server the reload.
It will work
I had this issue. first checked the credentials and username, they were all good, then restarted my server (docker stop/start) and it works now. something with cache I believe
I’ve followed this tutorial https://apiai-aws-heroku-nodejs-bots.blogspot.co.uk/2017/07/steps-for-apiai-and-google-account.html but when I go and grab by debugging URL which happens to be https://assistant.google.com/services/auth/handoffs/auth/start?provider=allergology-5fa9c_dev&scopes=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.resource.calendar&return_url=https://www.google.com/ and paste it into a new window I get Error 500 but no explanation.
I also tried from an incognito window. It does ask for my email and password but then returns the same error.
I’ve used Implicit Grant Type and I don’t have Add quick account linking enabled please ket me know if that’s not right?
When I try the CURL URL I get the message {“status”:{“code”:401,“errorType”:“unauthorized”,“errorDetails”:“Authentication parameters missing”}}
UPDATE - now when I try the basic Talk to Allergology action on the simulator I don’t even get the debug info anymore, but the message “Sorry this action is not available in simulation” :frowning:
Could you please help?
thanks

I've managed to work out what I need to do by following this answer How to authenticate user with just a Google account on Actions on Google?
In my case - Configure your project (in the cloud console) so that the Calendar API is enabled and that the OAuth2 client is correctly configured.
I also switched from Implicit Grant Type to Authorisation Code.
My app is almost working, I am now having other issues, but at some point the Access Token was coming through with the request.
So for a while I've been relying on the PLAIN support for logging into Google's IMAP server in my email client. Recently they started blocking that and return an error (despite listing it as a supported authentication method).
For instance take this example:
Connected to 'imap.gmail.com:993' using SSL
A0001 CAPABILITY
* OK Gimap ready for requests from ##.##.##.## cd6mb38777249ieb
* CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UNSELECT IDLE NAMESPACE QUOTA ID XLIST CHILDREN X-GM-EXT-1 XYZZY SASL-IR AUTH=XOAUTH2 AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=PLAIN-CLIENTTOKEN AUTH=XOAUTH
A0001 OK Thats all she wrote! cd6mb38777249ieb
A0002 AUTHENTICATE PLAIN
+
####################################
* NO [WEBALERT https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn?sarp=1&scc=1&plt=AKgnsbszktZSU6iVmh...snip....] Web login required.
A0002 NO [ALERT] Please log in via your web browser: http://support.google.com/mail/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 (Failure)
SSL connection closed.
ScribeImap_Thread.cpp:647 - Connect to imap.gmail.com:993 failed.
I've tried opening the "https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn..." URL in my browser:
And I get redirected to https://myaccount.google.com/ but the next login attempt fails as well. So it doesn't seem to change the authentication at all.
Is the PLAIN authentication just blocked completely or am I doing it wrong?
Alternatively is there a authentication method that works and DOESN'T need a browser component to log in? (XOAUTH2 seems to need a web login as well)
It's pretty official:
http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/a-final-farewell-to-clientlogin-oauth.html
They have shut off PLAIN login completely and it's not coming back.
So there are two options:
Turn on "less secure apps".
Implement OAUTH2.
I've decided to implement OAUTH2 support (which isn't too far off working actually). Initially I thought I would need an embedded browser component in my app, but it turns out that I can launch the system browser and the user can copy the token across in a some what manual process.
Interestingly for those working on OAUTH2 support in their software, Google have setup a playground to see the whole process in practice:
https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/
I see that this is an old post, but after fighting with Outlook for over a year to get my mail, I FINALLY got it working again.
The first thing I had to do was log into my my Gmail account and turn off the button labeled "Less secure apps" as Outlook is in that category.
Go to the "Less secure apps" section in My Account.
Next to "Access for less secure apps," selectTurn on. (Note to Google Apps users: This setting is hidden if your administrator has locked less secure app account access.)
And if you have 2-step verification on (as I did), it will still make Outlook fail. So the next thing you have to do is create an app password which will generate a password for you, and you use that in Outlook for it to sync correctly.
Visit your App password page. You may be asked to sign in to your Google Account.
At the bottom, click Select app and choose the app you’re using.
Click Select device and choose the device you’re using.
Since Outlook will not be listed, select Other and type in Outlook for future reference.
Select Generate.
Follow the instructions to enter the App password (the 16 character code in the yellow bar) on your device.
Select Done.
Copy the password that was generated.
Open Outlook and paste the password in the Password section. DO NOT use your regular password.
Your mail will sync without anymore issues. (Hopefully)
Once you are finished, you won’t see that App password code again. However, you will see a list of apps and devices you’ve created App passwords for.
I hope this helps everyone who is having an issue. And I hope these directions are easy to follow! Good luck everyone! :-)
Given the following ruby code:
consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new(consumer_key, consumer_secret, {
site: "https://www.googleapis.com"
})
resp = consumer.request(:put, "/appsmarket/v2/upgradableApp/#{listingId}/#{cwsId}/#{domain}")
puts resp.code+"\n"
puts resp.body
the UpgradeableApp API keeps giving "Invalid OAuth consumer key" error. The consumer key (in the format XXXXXXXXXXXX.apps.googleusercontent.com) was copied directly from the legacy marketplace listing as described in the docs.
I've:
verified the system time is correct and synchronized via ntp.
tried including xoauth_requestor_id
tried generating the request myself via curl (using this to generate the oauth signature)
tried enabling "Google Apps Marketplace API" under "Register for additional APIs" on the legacy marketplace listing
Is anybody else experiencing this? Thoughts on other things I can try?
UPDATE Sep 10 2014: I got confirmation from Google that this was an issue on their end for which a fix was applied. I've since been able to successfully use the ruby code above to do a migration.
