this app tried to access sensitive info in your google account. to keep your account safe, google blocked this access

Hello, I cannot authenticate in Google.

Even when I bypass the OOB issue, I am presented with this error:

This app tried to access sensitive info in your google account. To keep your account safe, google blocked this access.

I would need to ask my company admin to allow the insecure app, which will not happen.

Can you please switch to the same method used by rclone to authenticate the app?

You'll also have to make this change:
