Hello!
You will first need to generate an app password in your gmail account, then when authentication against Outlook you simply enter that app-password.
Guide from Google on how to generate an app password:
- Go to your Google Account.
- On the left navigation panel, click Security.
- On the Signing in to Google panel, click App passwords.
Note: If you can't get to the page, 2-Step Verification is:- Not set up for your account
- Set up for security keys only
- At the bottom, click Select app and choose the app you’re using.
- Click Select device and choose the device you’re using.
- Click Generate.
- Follow the instructions to enter the App password (the 16 character code in the yellow bar) on your device.
- Click Done.
