Category: Outlook SupportI got this error when I was helping another IT company and could not log into their Microsoft 365 admin portal. I figured it had to do with security, so I had the original admin who created the account log in and we removed the default security in Azure.
How to remove
Log into the admin portal
Azure Active Directory
Properties/which is tenant properties
at the bottom, click on “Manage Security Defaults”
Turn off
Once this is done, you can continue and setup security again.
If you are logged into your Windows 365 Cloud and are having trouble setting up your Microsoft Exchange with your Outlook, you need to create an app password. Here are instructions.

I created this video for my Mac clients to setup their security so I can login.

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

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.
