Outlook 2016 will not take gmail after end of May 2022

With Outlook 2016, you need both, but it isn't as complicated as is looks. Go to your Google account, turn on 2-Step Verification and then generate an App Password. Open Outlook 2016, bring up your Gmail account in Account Settings, and replace the existing password with the 16 digit App Password you just generated. You do not have to wait until the 30th, this will work right away and the 30th will pass without issue.

Sure, for Outlook 2010, go to your Google account, turn on 2-Step Verification and then generate an App Password. Open Outlook 2010, bring up your Gmail account in Account Settings, and replace the existing password with the 16 digit App Password you just generated. You do not have to wait until the 30th, this will work right away and the 30th will pass without issue.

Hello Diane,

Likewise, I'm using an older version (Outlook 2010, Office Home & Business 2010). Is there any way to continue using the older version with gmail on my PC? I've refrained from migrating to 365, and want to keep using the standalone version I know and love if there is any way possible?

Thank you for your continued service to the community over all of these many years

I also do not have Microsoft 365...using Outlook 2016. I have done some research on the Web but the articles I have read are too complicated for me to understand and make the changes. I am hoping there is a Vert Detailed article...for DUMMY's like me...that will hold my hand and walk me thru the chnages I must follow so that come 5/30/22...I can continue to use Outlook 2016 and access my Gmail accts with it.

Are you writing with Outlook 2016...you ONLY need to activate 2 Factor Auth...and you do not need to chnage the PASSWORD to the New 16 digit Password??????

I hope that article is out there....

What if I have Outlook 2016 and don't have (and don't want) 365. how can i continue to access my gmails thru outlook? tks
