    I saved the password it generated (just in case) even though it says it's only needed one time.

    One thing to remember is the spaces in the generated password are there to make it easier for people to parse (read). Don't use them when you enter the password in the window for it. Only 16 characters are what is required - none of them are spaces!

    Is this how it works? I select my phone. Google sends me a 16 word password to my phone as a text. I then go into Outlook on my desktop and enter that as a password. Done forever (or does this repeat each day)?

    Sorry, I'm a non techie. Here's where I'm stuck.

    "At the bottom, choose Select app and choose the app you using > Select device and choose the device you’re using > Generate."

    The only app that is listed there is for my phone, not for my desktop Outlook. Do I select the phone?

    I have used emClient now that my older MS Outlook no longer works.

    It's free version does exactly what I need and has a good migration tool included to migrate from the older (2007 etc) versions.

    I have no affiliation with Google, Microsoft or emClient

    Just a user ...

    You are a life saver!!! I have and love MS Office Outlook 2007 (desktop) and was in a panic when my email no longer loaded from GMail. I followed your advice, starting with the 2-step verification process, then generating an app password for less secure apps on my Gmail account settings. I then entered the app password into my Outlook email account settings. I whooped with joy when I saw all my mail loading. THANK YOU!!!!!
