Recurring email "Reconnect to Google"

Has anyone had the Reconnect to Google emails come back after doing two-step verification?  I couldn't stop these emails for months... Disconnect, reconnect... OK for a while... boom... Reconnect to Google.

HOWEVER, once I set up two-step verification on Google's end ,and I'd actually enabled it for Microsoft's accounts as well after my long-established (and weak) password was compromised, I have not received the email and my Google account remains connected.

I use the Microsoft authenticator app on my Windows Phone.  SMS got to be too annoying. Google also has one.  Oddly enough, if you use the Microsoft authenticator with a Google account, you need to set Google to use the Google authenticator app.  It will still work.  Obviously the Google app is available for Android devices as well as iOS.

You are not alone, but I just give up...

Goodbye 2014, hello 2015! And hello again; this old thread! You've grown to 15 pages I see. Impressive.

Anyway; Unfortunately this issue has reared its ugly head once more.

This is the first "Me too." post in months. I'm hoping I'm not alone. I have received the above screenshotted email 10 times now, following its instructions resulted in no improvement.

I'm sure the Google / Microsoft rivalry is really important and both parties want to keep it going behind the scenes, but unfortunately it is the users who are loyal to both companies that get the bad experience and second hand treatment. I use Outlook on my phone and Gmail everywhere else. But they are both equally important to me. Syncing them is of paramount importance.

I'm sure Google is making Microsoft jump through unnecessary hoops masqueraded as improved security. But since they provided no fallback or backwards compatibility, they achieved the opposite of the desired effect. We have to lower our security to keep using Outlook, and by god we are not going to quit Outlook over a minor inconvenience like this. so; by letting outdated and unsecure apps log in, which in turn enables hackers easier access to us, Google shot itself in the security foot. More and more users are forced into dropping their increased security in exchange for convenience and sync. Heightened security should remain convenient.

I'm also sure Google has good reasons to do this, much more than just rivalry or revenge for something Microsoft did to Google who knows when. Top notch security after all, is not just an excuse to fvck with Microsoft's apps and users, but a valid requirement as well.

So please just accept their demands and implement Oauth 2.0 properly. Let there be peace between the two giants, or the earth will shake under their trampling feet and it's always the little people under them who will feel the worst of their blows.

I had not received any more "reconnect to google" emails for 2 months, so I thought it was fixed, but today I just received one again :(

HEY THANK YOU
