Outlook Keeps Asking For Password Gmail

| June 2, 2022

Outlook Keeps Asking For Password Gmail

Source Google: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?authuser=1&hl=en&authuser=1&visit_id=637897917243113422-3306270379&p=less-secure-apps&rd=1

  • To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022, ​​Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

If you are getting a password prompt with an error, Google changed their security for Outlook and required 2 step authentication. The old trick of turning on less apps is gone, now you need to do a few things.

FIX:

1.) Setup 2 step authentication with the account. Most folks want text but you can use the Google app or YouTube app from your phone.

2.) Then once done, you can click here and assign an Outlook app password https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

If you have any other issues and need my help, you can schedule time on my calendar below.

 

Outlook Training For Experienced Users

Outlook Training For Experienced Users

If your company is looking for some Outlook training, I offer a customized 1-hour training session that skips over all the basics and gets to the good stuff. I also don’t go slow and keep a fast-paced hour. As these sessions are recorded, your team can watch again later if they want to review. Before we schedule the training, I always ask the team lead to ask all the staff what they want to learn in the session, and I incorporate the questions into the 5 topics below. Since I’m a technician and trainer, you get the added benefit of having me available after the training to help with individuals who need tech support.

Review below and fill out the form if you want to schedule a no-cost consult.

  • Trained workshop style, watch on one monitor, follow along using your own Outlook on the other monitor
  • Recorded so you can view again at another time
  • Lisa Hendrickson is our trainer, she reviewed all your survey questions and incorporated them into the session
  • There will be time at the end for any last questions

5 topics

  1. 15 features you might not know, but you’ll definitely use after this workshop (efficiency tips, views and settings, etc.)
  2. Email management tips for the two types of email users, which one are you? (Organizing tips, rules, downloading)
    1. Folder people, you file every email into many folders
    2. Inbox people, you keep every email in your inbox
  3. Start and end of your email day tips

Outlook and Phone Synchronizing Process

| April 22, 2022

If you’re interested in hiring me to assist reconfiguring your Outlook to sync with your phone (iPhone or Android), here is a list of the work I need to do to complete the request and how the process works.

Please know upfront that this is not a simple request, it will be a minimum of 2 hours and could (and most likely) will be over 2 hours if you have a lot of iCloud, email and contacts, calendars in different platforms.

These requests are not typically done in one session, expect a few sessions each under an hour and a follow up appointment at the end. This is a one time “surgery” so you should not need to do it again unless you want to move to another Exchange account. My follow up appt includes testing and any questions you have. I also keep detailed notes so the next time you call, I will know everything from this session. All the backups I create will be saved your documents folder.

Please have all of your account passwords ready before we start.  If you can use a different phone when we configure the phones it’s best.

I provide best effort for iCloud. I do my best to extract all the data out of iCloud and merge with your other contacts and calendars, some times I cannot get the data and we figure out another solution.

You will be 100% involved with this request as it’s your data, Outlook and phone. I do all the work, you can relax. The more questions you ask, the longer the work will take to complete.

I offer 2 types of data migrations and for one person or small businesses I may do the work myself. For larger teams, I refer the work to my vendor, and I do the prep work.

  • For home users, we use a free Exchange server
  • For business users, we use a 365 Business Exchange server

The Process

  • I will do my onboarding, let you know of any potential issues
  • Backup the data we will be migrating to your new Exchange server
  • Reconfigure Outlook
  • Then setup new Exchange, add other email accounts
  • Import data
  • Let synchronize
  • Clean up folders, extra data
  • Setup phone
  • Fine tune
  • Follow up and aftercare
