I am lost and google search providing no answers!

I am getting a strange issue when trying to add my google account to Outlook 365

When adding a gmail account and connecting to google for auth, I am able to enter my email address, type of account, but after I submit my password I get the following error. 

![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/56154c60-ca66-4ac6-a759-b1896b2e5424?platform=QnA I thought Outllok app was using old IE or Edge in a small window so I checked to make sure scripts were enabled (IE11) and it is, checked Edge java setting - enabled. I even lowered security for the Internet zone to Medium and still no go My default browser in Windows is set to Chrome, it does have Javascript enabled as well - I use the gmail link all the time no issue and to check, I disabled Java in chrom and couldn't access gmail link, so I re-enabled it.

Apart from check this java setting in this browser, is there anyone that can get current google mail to work with current Outlook 365?

Thanks for any advice and help.

    Hi Gabriel.

    That worked. Got rid of the Javascript error and allowed the password field to appear so I could complete the connection. I also set up an App Password in my Gmail account to use rather than the two factor authentication in the future.

    This work around worked, but it seems to move slower than it should, or is that just me?
