how to setup my gmail account in outlook 2013

I know I am using the exact same settings that were in place prior to the crash on 5/17 because I keep screen prints of my account settings. I have my existing PST file with 6 gmail accounts I funnel in via POP3 (yes, I still have my reasons/preference for POP3). Since I have had my computer back with a newly installed OS, I have not been successful in setting up my Outlook 2019 desktop client again.

Coincidentally, my computer crashed 5/17 and it was in data recovery until 6/14. It seems my settings have been affected by Google's May 31st changes that affect security/login. Hi Diane - I have similar issues to Greg. If you use public hotspots, you should enable two-factor. It doesn't request re-authorization often, which makes using an app password fairly painless. In my experience with Gmail, their implementation of two-factor authorization is not annoying at all and retains the authorization. Gmail allows you to revoke individual app passwords, which you can do by clicking the trash can icon to the right of the device name.

If you enable two-factor authentication, you'll create new app passwords at App passwords. To check or change your settings, sign in to Gmail then open your Google account settings. (The app password is a one-time use password that can be voided if you suspect it is compromised, without affecting your “real” password.) Older versions of Outlook can't connect to Gmail servers unless you also enable two-factor authorization then use an app password in Outlook.

If you do not have two-step verification enabled, you will need to enable it to create an app password. If you have the account added as POP and receive this error, you need to use an app password to sign in. The server responded: -ERR Username and password not accepted.' Verify your username and password for this account in Account Settings. Task - Receiving' reported error (0x800CCC92): 'Your email server rejected your login. (I recommend eM client as a good Outlook replacement.) Error Messages If you are unable to enable two-step verification and upgrading Office is not in the cards, you’ll need to use a different email client or use. It is highly recommended that you use two step verification even if you are using a supported version of Outlook! To enable two-step verification and get an app password, log into your Google account and open the Security settings. Newer versions of Outlook will need to use app passwords with POP accounts too. At this time, adding a Gmail account to Outlook as POP will require the user to enable two-step verification and use an app password to log in.
