But what if you can&rsquo;t connect Gmail to Outlook? Is it time to say goodbye to your favorite client?<\/p>\n<p>Well, you should in no case consider that. Gmail not working with Outlook is quite an easy problem to resolve. Fortunately, you have come to the right place, since we will show you how to fix the Outlook won&rsquo;t connect to Gmail issue. Just be patient and carefully follow our instructions. <\/p>\n<p>So, if Gmail keeps asking for a password in Outlook, this means you should take the following steps: <\/p>\n<h2>How to Add a Gmail Account to Outlook<\/h2>\n<h3>Step one: Turn on IMAP<\/h3>\n<p>To begin with, let&rsquo;s figure out what IMAP is and why you need it.&nbsp; :&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">IMAP stands for Internet Messaging Access Protocol. Its main function is to enable communication between the email client and the mail server. If it is inactive, Outlook won&rsquo;t connect to Gmail.&nbsp; <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>This means now is the time to enable the thing:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Enter your Gmail account (click on Gmail in your browser). <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Proceed to the top right corner. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Locate the gear icon and click on it to open the Settings menu. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Go to the Forwarding and POP\/IMAP tab. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Proceed to the Enable IMAP option and select it. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Make sure that the status says,<em> &ldquo;IMAP is enabled.&rdquo;<\/em> <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Save your changes. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well done. It&rsquo;s time to tweak your Gmail account security settings. <\/p>\n<h3>Step two: Create an app password<\/h3>\n<p>Now you should set up a  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/office\/set-a-password-to-help-protect-your-outlook-information-f60fb0e7-f0ad-4d7c-858b-9619d1b9f0b6#:~:text=Open%20Outlook%2C%20and%20on%20the,password%2C%20and%20then%20choose%20Settings.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">special password <\/a> &ndash; you will use it to log in to Gmail from Outlook. Here is how you can do that: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Once in your Google account, go to the <em>Sign-in &amp; security<\/em> section. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Locate<em> App passwords<\/em> and click on it. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Provide your Gmail account password. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Choose <em>Outlook<\/em> from the drop-down menu. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Press on the <em>Generate<\/em> button. <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You will see a 16-digit password. This is your password for accessing Gmail from Outlook. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Phew, the most difficult part is over! <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Also read:<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-delete-your-saved-passwords-full-guide-for-desktop-and-mobile\/\">How to Delete Your Saved Passwords: Full Guide for Desktop and Mobile <\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3><b>Step three: Connect Gmail to Outlook<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Now,  add your Outlook account to Gmail: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Open Outlook and go to <em>File &gt; Add Account.<\/em> <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Enter your Gmail address and click <em>Connect.<\/em> <\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">When prompted, enter the app password created earlier (for accounts with 2FA enabled) or your Gmail password (if 2FA is not enabled). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Follow the prompts to complete the setup. Outlook will automatically configure Gmail settings. <div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security method that requires users to provide two different forms of identification before granting access to a system or account.  Typically, this involves something the user knows (like a password) and something the user possesses (like a smartphone or security token). 2FA adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password, making it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to gain access to sensitive information or accounts.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Also read:<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/fix-gmail-not-loading-in-chrome\/\">[FIXED] Why Is My Gmail Not Working? <\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Step four: Update Outlook and use automatic configuration<\/h3>\n<p>Ensure your Outlook application is updated to the latest version to benefit from automatic configuration features.

Ensure IMAP is enabled and you are using an app password if two-factor authentication is activated on your Gmail account. <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"faq-box__tab\">\r\n\t<input id=\"id-2\" class=\"faq-box__checkbox\" type=\"checkbox\" \/>\r\n\t<label class=\"faq-box__label\" for=\"id-2\"><span>What is an app password and why do I need it for Outlook?<\/span><\/label>\r\n\t<div class=\"faq-box__content\">An app password is a 16-digit passcode that gives less secure apps or devices permission to access your Google account. It&rsquo;s required if you have two-factor authentication enabled for added security when adding your Gmail account to Outlook. <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"faq-box__tab\">\r\n\t<input id=\"id-3\" class=\"faq-box__checkbox\" type=\"checkbox\" \/>\r\n\t<label class=\"faq-box__label\" for=\"id-3\"><span>How can I generate an app password for Outlook?<\/span><\/label>\r\n\t<div class=\"faq-box__content\">In your Google Account settings, navigate to the &ldquo;Security&rdquo; section, find &ldquo;App passwords,&rdquo; and select it. After verifying your account password, choose &ldquo;Mail&rdquo; and &ldquo;Windows Computer,&rdquo; then click &ldquo;Generate.&rdquo; Use the provided 16-digit password in Outlook. <\/div>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"faq-box__tab\">\r\n\t<input id=\"id-4\" class=\"faq-box__checkbox\" type=\"checkbox\" \/>\r\n\t<label class=\"faq-box__label\" for=\"id-4\"><span>What should I do if Outlook keeps asking for my Gmail password?<\/span><\/label>\r\n\t<div class=\"faq-box__content\">This often happens if the password entered in Outlook is incorrect or outdated.

I\u2019m Valeria, and I am an SEO specialist and tech writer for the Auslogics Tech Wisdom Blog. Although I don\u2019t have a formal tech education, I\u2019ve always been a tech enthusiast, passionate about exploring and learning new things, whether it\u2019s through travel, books, or the latest technologies. I stay updated with the latest news, ideas, and opportunities, with my go-to sources being the Search Engine Journal and TechRadar. Naturally, this passion, backed by my background in marketing and my curiosity, led me to the Auslogics Blog, where I combine my love for marketing and writing as an SEO and tech writer. I pride myself on my ability to explain complex tech concepts in understandable language for readers even without technical expertise. With over 5 years of experience in SEO and more than 2 years in tech writing, I specialize in guides on security, PC optimization, and resolving all sorts of Windows issues. This is why the \u201cHow To\u201d section of the Auslogics Blog is my favorite.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/valeriia-burmatskaia-dos-santos\/"],"knowsAbout":["Search Engine Optimization (SEO)","Content Strategy","Copywriting","Windows","Technology","Social Media","Digital Trends","Digital Security"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Portuguese"],"jobTitle":"SEO Specialist & Tech Writer","worksFor":"Auslogics","url":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/author\/valeria-burmatskaya\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2853","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2853"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2853\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95655,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2853\/revisions\/95655"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2853"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2853"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2853"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
