Access blocked Authentication error when trying to add a gmail account
In new Outlook for Windows Access blocked Authentication error when trying to add a gmail account.
However, I have added the account on another Windows 11 partition without errors.

Did you download Chrome and log into the gmail account there? I have had to do this and also change the default browser (temporary) to get this to work. Gmail is very particular about this I have learned.
By seeing your image, I believe you will have results by logging into the Gmail account first, then trying to set up the account in New Outlook. Based upon my experience and past client requests of figuring it out, that's what helped me. Let me know if that helped and if so, please mark my answer as a solution. Thanks!
Hello Lisa,
thank you very much.I have two browsers: Edge and Duck Duck Go.
Opening the gmail page worksproperly in these browsers.
Moreover, I have another partitionion with Windows 11 on the internal SSD.
In this partition the New Outlook works properly with the Gmail account.
However, on my mobile Android phone, the Microsoft Authenticator as well as the Google Authenticator is installed.
I have registered the Gmail account on both Authenticators at a different time.
