adding a gmail account to outlook
|
Hey yall. So I went to add my gmail account, or one of them to my outlook. I googled for what happens when the unable to sign in because you might be using an insecure browser dialogue comes up, and the article said to turn on the less secure apps option. I would except tah setting is now no longer available at least on that particular account. I then read some more tips to turn on some stuff in edge such as allow sites to open in internet explorer mode. So far nothing has worked. So how can I add these accounts to my desktop and my laptop if I can’t sign in using my gmail address using outlook’s internal browser. The newest stuff I found was from 2021 which is not going to help right now.

If you are using anything earlier than Outlook 2016, it's messy to add a Gmail account. If you're not, just go through the add account process in Outlook. The Google OAUTH2 process is handled by Outlook while you're stepping through account addition.
You can't possibly be using an insecure browser if you're using the current versions of any of the major ones. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit; Android 12 (MIUI 13) Let me hasten to add that I *do* like cologne. I just much prefer it as a subtle hint instead of an aromachete. ~ Clay Colwell |

That’s the thing. I’m using office 365. I’ve tried to step through the process and get the unsecure browser after entering my email address. This on 2 compujters, both running office 365. I used to be able to do this.

I should add that on both system s I’m using Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2301 Build 16.0.16026.20196) 64-bit365 and I was able to do this aboutg 6 months ago.

Sarah,
I'd consider calling Microsoft Windows & Office Accessibility Support. Something's off here, and I have no idea what it might be and don't have M365 to test with. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit; Android 12 (MIUI 13) Let me hasten to add that I *do* like cologne.

Which browsers did you try. You shouldn't get any such message with
a modern browser. I can't say what happens with an old one.

Ok, well we got somewhere. I added the one-time password after enabling 2 step verification per the rep’s instructions./ I got this instead when signing into my new account I’ve been trying to add for the past hour. Thius was the disability desk that was tgryting to help me btw. I don’t use one time passwords, ever, so this was a fiurst. Set ujp was easy, I wonder why it is braking though as all of my accounts seem to be adding except this one.

I have found that Google are making stuff difficult for anyone wanting to use a client for their email. ON two different machines running the same client, both now need one time passwords with all that messing about that happens and one time codes that expire before you get to put them in.

It could be similar to the one we got for Windows 7. That has issues with google when you need to log in.

that is not true. You don't need one time passwords. You need what
is called an application specific password if you are using an
e-mail program that is too old to use modern security protocols. I
got an application specific password and had no problems such as you
describe. If by codes you mean captchas, I had no problem getting
one and solving the captcha with it. If you have a modern e-mail
client, none of this is necessary. I strongly suspect you are using
an older e-mail client, Windows Live Mail, perhaps, or Outlook
Express. You have said you use Outlook Express, though I believe
you said you would use something newer on your new Windows 10 or 11
machine when you get it.

But what you really need is to ditch any email client that can't support modern authentication. It's getting downright dangerous to use insecure email clients these days. There really does come a time that, no matter how much you may love some piece of software and hate losing it, that the proverbial band-aid needs to be ripped off. I truly have never been in any other community where clinging to technological corpses is as strong a tendency as it has been in the blind community, which truly mystifies me. And particularly in regard to things like email clients, where accessibility, on the whole, has improved as time has marched on. And "Google friendliness" and integration of all modern authentication methods, not just Google's, has become standard.

In my case I am not. The rep actually said I still need this with m365. Even with the newer builds as none of my email accounts wer actgually syncing properly and my password didn’t work, the app specific password which is one time use only according to the rep said it would work and it did.

Sarah,
Then call back. You got a less than competent rep. Straight through beginning to end setup of Gmail accounts within Outlook has been in place for years now. If it's not working, something's wrong, and that most likely lies in the M365 installation. You do not need (though, of course, one could use) an app specific password. That's not "the right way" to do it, for lack of a better way of putting it, and should be wholly unnecessary. There is a vague possibility that it could be an underlying corruption in your Windows instance as well. You might want to do a repair install on Windows to see if that straightens things out. Things may be fine for now, and even stay that way, but something's off that will, eventually, rear its ugly head again. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 11 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 22H2, Build 22621; Office 2016, Version 16.0.15726.20188, 32-bit; Android 12 (MIUI 13) Let me hasten to add that I *do* like cologne.

I dun no, I rfead about some of this and it seems as though the rep is on the right track.. someone was having trouble in 2021 to 2022 and this is how they solved the issue as well with the app specific password. I’ll contact them again after workand see. I have to use outlook as my work does not use web email, at all. Plus I love the way outlook works, except for now. It’s now two gmail accounts I cannot add even with an app specific password. We’ll see if I get a different repl.. He even remoted inand saw what was going on.

I have no idea what the person means by one time use. An
application specific password is used instead of your usual password
and your e-mail program uses it to sign in every time you open the
program and it fetches and sends mail to your account. It is used
as often as your regular password would be.

I think there is some way you may be able to get a one time use
password if you can prove you are who you say you are in Google when
working with an account but that has nothing to do with a user
specific password.
