Google Drive connector authentication fails

I receive the following error when attempting to connect Google Drive.
 
But as far as Google is concerned, permission was granted. This is what I see when I go to the third party connections page on my Google account:
 
I put in a ticket with Microsoft and they were unable to help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
     
    The root cause here is your Google account you are connecting to requires MFA and will interfere with your connection in Power Automate.  To confirm this, go to your Google account and remove the MFA requirement, save and retest your flow.  I have been using the Google Drive connector successfully for many years and works well, but without MFA.

    Thanks for the suggestion Tom. I got IT to temporarily disable my MFA, and unfortunately I still received the same error. Appreciate any other ideas you might have.
