Outlook Keeps Asking For Password Gmail

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
