Hi juan jimenez
Please see this discussion:

- HI Andrzej1,
thank your for answering.
I think that google considers since May 30th, 2022 that Outlook 2016 is not a secure program...
- To continue using your Outlook you will have to enable two-step verification in Gmail and add an app password. Use that password for logging into Outlook.
Hi John, thank you for your answer.
This is Outlook 2016, not an app. How can I put an app password in Outlook 2016? in the account settings i can have only 1 password which is the gmail password that I always had.
I hope you can keep on helping.
Gracias, Juan
