On May 30, 2022 Google is locking down "less secure apps".
See Google's announcement here:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
I'm using Outlook 2019, ad use Gmail via Outlook for 95% of my Email traffic.
I would think Microsoft is aware of this. Will using Outlook require a manual 2FA intervention every time a connection is made with Gmail?

Yes, excellent thanks Stewart. I struggled with this for a couple of hours until I found your solution !
It works on my desktop with W10 & O365 (and even on my old laptop with W8.1 & O2007).
Many thanks !!

@RobinTheBroker is there any way that Google will let me download my emails into Outlook?

@KeithLaKey I am having the same issue. Unable to use Outlook for gmail accounts and there is no work around that I am aware of. MS needs to step up so that we can still have all of our various emails in one space. Personally I can stand using webmail after using Outlook since its inception.

Hi @mikec7 I am experiencing exactly the same issue you did and wondered if the solution you referred to is still fully working? Thanks in advance.

Hi @anthony3220 ,
Yes, it's working fine.
@stewartgoodin explained the basic fix, but didn't explain how or where to enter the 16-digit password. I found the answer to that in one of @Peter_Rosner's posts. Good Luck!

Can you explain to everyone why you are sharing an email address for a contact outside of the MTC Forum?
You did it again, unfortunately I have to warn other users! If you are an IT specialist
it's definitely weird!
Please do not send to this user Nothing - which is bound by a password or anything!

because 'they' are a SCAMMER trying to PHISH poor schmucks.
I TRIED to warn everyone - with a clear post
but it has been DELETED (no trace I can see anywhere!) - by 'admin'?
HOWEVER, 'ADMIN' must have seen IT, AND my 2 'reports' about the scamming - because they REMOVED THE EMAIL ADDRESS on the previous scam post - (stewart_goodin)
but NOW the real 'stewartgoodin' account seems to be hacked TOO
which is why you are asking why THEY included an email address
to repeat what I said in previous warning post for the community - POOR STEWART GOODIN
Microsoft are both responsible AND irresponsible.

be warned if you are reading this in June 2022 - there are scammers in this thread phishing / trying to engage people
they are posting email addresses
but despite reports to 'moderator' - they continue to masquerade as legitimate users
and posts (like this) warning others in the community - are being deleted
....
GOOD NEWS: the solution by the REAL Stewart Goodin WORKS.
make sure you do the last step = MAIL
- and go back into settings to allow 'mail' ('windows computer') in the APPS, after you have gone through the rigmarole of 2 factor authentication.
- it will 'generate' a "16 digit passcode/password" that hyou then copy and paste into outlook (replacing your own pw)
(note: don't know if you can just make up your OWN '16 dig pw' ? - who has time or the will to test?)
& in JUNE 2022 - 'allow less secure apps' is redundant/not an option
AFAIK, there's 2 solutions: Stewart's / 2 FACTOR AUTH + MAIL ON THIS PC (16 dig pw)
or
another registry something edit - even more complicated / time consuming
PLEASE send invoices for your time to MICROSOFT.
or they will never learn.

Yes, the actor inspires trust with a helpful answer others confirm it and gives an email address, and the inexperienced user is perfidiously attacked!
Thank you!
