Gmail less secure apps being locked down

unless you set 16 digit passwords less secure apps are required 

Hello my name is Stewart Goodin I have worked in the computer industry since 1982 

I am seeing this problem, less secure apps, already cropping up with TELUS accounts.

First Less secure apps is required to be enabled for accessing GMAIL emails from OUTLOOK 2019 

this applies to both IMAP and POP access to GMAIL via OUTLOOK 2019 unless you set 16 digit passwords. 

So please if you are responding to questions take the time to read what people have said before you respond

I am tired of the millennial and the non millennial's attitude of not knowing what you are responding to before you answer.

here is a link to setup a 16 digit password to access your GMAIL account from OUTLOOK 2019

Here are step by step instructions to accomplish this 

Google Help Center 2-Step Verification > Signing in with 2-Step Verification > Sign in with App Passwords 

Login to GMAIL Account "myaccount.google.com"

Click on security 

Enable 2 step verification, you will have to have a cell phone or access to some other device. 

Now click on the back arrow, Top Left Center of Screen, 

Having done that now app passwords will appear 

click on app passwords 

click on select app and mail 

click on select device and select windows computer 

click generate and a 16 digit code will appear #### #### #### #### highlight and copy to clipboard

go to Microsoft OUTLOOK and paste that code into your password line, you will be prompted for it,

click on remember and save 

Your outlook will work fine from now on and you will find less secure apps is all ready disabled

I have tested it and it works fine
