When setting up your Gmail account in Outlook, it's best to do so manually by selecting 'other' and ensuring that you use the correct settings as outlined in this link. If you're having trouble accessing your email since the Google mail change, see our recent article for more guidance.

When entering your settings in Outlook, be sure not to select 'use same as incoming' for both the outgoing server and email address and password. If this option is selected, try moving on to a different device if possible.

If setting up your account manually doesn't work, wait at least an hour to allow the servers to sync before trying again. When you do, make sure to remove any characters you may have added to your password and re-enter it correctly. Once you've done this, change your email password and verify that you can access your email via webmail.

If you're still experiencing issues, try deleting your account from your device and waiting a while before trying again. To avoid accidentally checking your account, turn off any other devices or add a couple of characters to the email address so that it's no longer checking.

Finally, if your email account can receive emails and you can send and receive using webmail, there may not be an issue with your password. In this case, try changing your password to see if it resolves the problem.

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of Outlook asking for a password for Gmail. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out!
