Instead, you’ll need to sign in using {Sign in with Google} or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0. {Learn more} What do you need to do? Email software, like Outlook 2016 or earlier, has less secure access to your Gmail. Switch to Office 365, Outlook 2019 or newer, or any other email software where you can sign in using Sign in with Google. {Learn more} --------------- WTF. I obviously can't sign in with google. Someone kindly wrote what to do in the wiki, like this. --------------- 1. Sign into your Google account. 2. Go to the "security" section. 3. Go to the "app password" section. 4. Generate an app password. Use "Mail" for the app and "Other" for the device (if none of the device descriptions are suitable). Google will generate a password for you to use that is different from your main Google account password. --------------- That's fine but there is no app password section. I can't find it anywhere. Any ideas? May 30 is coming up fast. Karl Dahlke
Hello, I got into my Google account now, I have "app password" section. You can try to enter into your Google account and go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords Then Google will ask your password again. In a form you could have 2 multi-choice menu under "Select the app and device for which you want to generate the app password." The menus are "Select App" and "Select Device" and later a button "GENERATE". Good luck! Alfonso
