Hi, Kimber. Yes, but you will still need to use a security key instead of a password.

I had forgotten about that change. But I am using Outlook 2019 so shouldn’t I be fine?

This is due to a change that Google implemented for security on GMAIL accounts.
Below is the text of a message that I received from Google.


On May 30, you may lose access to apps that are using less secure sign-in technology

To help keep your account secure, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to sign in using Sign in with Google or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0. Learn more

What do you need to do?
Email software, like Outlook 2016 or earlier, has less secure access to your Gmail. Switch to Office 365, Outlook 2019 or newer, or any other email software where you can sign in using Sign in with Google.

Hello,

Suddenly this afternoon I am unable to retrieve my Gmail on my laptop running Outlook and Windows 10. I can send and receive mail on the iPhone with that affected account and also through the Gmail web interface. But when I try to download mail in Outlook I get a prompt for a password and even though I typed in the correct password it doesn’t except it. I’m not sure how to begin diagnosing this problem. Can somebody help?

Thanks
