I don't use gdata, but I've tried to start the process from scratch also
on Debian Buster, and when trying to obtain the code the response from
Google was a big red warning triangular icon and the following message:

| This app is blocked

The app in question is named "Claws Mail", belonging to holger.berndt at
gmail.com (GData author), so perhaps that's the problem.

You may also try to run claws-mail from a terminal with --debug option
and see if more meaningful messages are printed on it when trying to
authorise your account.
