I cannot login to my outlook email, how do I fix this problem?

I’m having the same issue as everyone else I cannot login to my email. I’ve tried using different devices, different browsers, everything. I’m getting frustrated I need to access my emails for work. How do I fix this problem and why is it happening?

Do you get your emails from Gmail?

If so, Google as of May 1, 2025 has turned off POP/IMAP access to Gmail from Outlook app because Classic Outlook app is "less secure". This can be fixed.

Basically, you need to set up 2-Step Verification on your Google account (no this is not phone verification). Then go to "App Password" at the bottom of the 2SV page. Enter "Outlook" and get a new 16 character password (the App password). Then delete your Outlook account for Gmail, and create a new Outlook account for Gmail with the App Password.

I suspect other email servers have also tightened login to your email account, and 2-step verification may solve the issue for them.

So Outlook 365 is not an APP. It is just a simple browser to Outlook.com in the cloud. It is called New Outlook, and is not downloaded. Your mail is stored and managed in the cloud. You don't have access to your emails if you go offline.
