Google Business Profile connection error

The "This app is blocked" error occurs when Google blocks an app from accessing your account due to security concerns. Here's how you can resolve it:

1. Verify App Permissions

• Go to your Google Account: Google Security
• Under "Your connections to third-party apps & services," check if the app is listed.
• Remove and reauthorize the app if needed.

2. Check OAuth Verification Status

If you're the app developer or administrator:

• Ensure the app is verified by Google.
• Go to the Google Cloud Console, check the OAuth consent screen, and confirm all necessary scopes are approved.

3. Allow Less Secure Apps (If Applicable)

Google blocks less secure apps by default. To temporarily allow access:

• Visit: Less Secure Apps Settings
• Enable access (not recommended for long-term security).

4. Use an App Password

If you're using the app with Gmail or another Google service, create an app-specific password:

• Go to Google App Passwords.
• Generate a password and use it instead of your regular Google password.

5. Contact App Developer

If you’re using a third-party app, check with the app provider to see if they have a Google-approved integration or update available.

6. Whitelist the App in Google Admin (For Workspace Users)

If you are using a Google Workspace account:

• Log into the Google Admin Console
• Navigate to Security > API Controls > Manage Third-Party Access, and whitelist the app.

If you've tried all these steps and the issue persists, you may need to switch to a Google-verified alternative or reach out to Google Support for further assistance.
