If you use other apps on iOS or MacOS that access your G Suite account information through only a password, most access issues can be resolved by removing then re-adding your account. When you add it back, make sure to select Google as the account type to automatically use OAuth. 2. For any other LSA, contact your admin or ask the developer of the app you are using to start supporting OAuth. 3. *If the developer won’t update their app, you will need to switch to a client that offers OAuth.*
