Apple Beta Releases

I'm putting this here as i'm running 15.1 sequoia. Any time i log in, I hear enter the password for a gmail account in internet accounts. I go to internet accounts only there's nothing wrong. I don't want to if i don't have too. Any ideas? Also hope all like me in FL are safe and have power.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

Hey Siobhan,

This sounds like it could either be a bug with keychain, or it could be an update to Google security with regards to third-party apps. I would say, if it’s Keychain, asking for this, just go ahead and do it. You should be fine.

However, if you are concerned delete that particular Google account off your Mac, reboot, your machine and then re-enter the details manually.

Either way it, “should”, resolve the situation.

By the way, I’m hoping you and yours are doing OK. I have friends in the Jacksonville area, and also have family in NC, and from what I have read in the news, neither area is doing so good right now. 😟

Odd though, if you check the notification centre, you'd expect to see the notification but, there's nothing. Odd.

I have seen this sort of behavior from time to time on certain types of internet connections. If this is happening on your personal wifi, it's probably a Google issue. A restart without doing anything should correct the problem. Otherwise, sometimes this can happen on corporate/education wifi networks. In which case, it's probably safe to reenter your credentials and should make the issue disappear for a while.
I hope this helps.

I restarted, nothing. I deleted and readded account, still same issue. It's annoying, but as long as it doesn't hinder I'm ok I guess. Weird thing is that i have two gmail accounts, and only this is acting up on one i don't use much. weird?

One last suggestion for you. Try going online to your Google account, for that specific account that is requesting your password. And reset that account password online. Then enter the new password into your Internet account on your Mac. Definitely feel like this is a Google issue, but this might help resolve it. 🙂✌️
