The email contains links to some Google websites that just seem to refer to each other without explaining exactly what I need to do (if anything). Then, further down, it says that I should switch to “Outlook 365 or any other email software where you can sign in using Sign in with Google“. I recently received an email from Google saying that from May 30 my gmail address (which it quoted specifically) will no longer support my Outlook connection because it considers Outlook to be “less secure”. I have a gmail address which I access through Outlook 365 (which is up to date with last month’s updates). If anyone else has already done this I’m all ears. Looks like I have some research as my wife and I use these to access Gmail on our Kindle Fire tablets as well as Outlook 365 so I’ll have to see if I can access Gmail another way with O365. “It looks like you’re using App Passwords to give third-party apps access to your account, email address here, To make you account more secure, disable App Passwords and use ‘Sign in with Google’ to connect apps to your Google Account.” Bummer can’t seem to attach a file to a reply! So here’s the text:
Tonight when looking at the OP I searched for the citation and I got this popup at the top of the page. Since she didn’t want to pay for O365 I switched her to using the Web interface to Gmail. I found this today when trying to help a neighbor with her Outlook 2010 which wouldn’t accept her Password for GMail in Outlook.
