How do I stop Gmail from blocking Outlook?

For security purposes, Gmail sometimes blocks a sign-in attempt on Outlook. There are a couple of things that you need to do. Gmail will send you an email whenever an attempt to open your Outlook is made. Through this email, you can allow Outlook to sign in all the time without being blocked by Gmail.

To do this, you need to open the email and tap ‘allow access to less secure apps.’ This is found inside the body of the email. Once done, it will open the settings of your Google account which will direct you to allow or disallow the access to secure apps. Once you tap ‘Turn on’, Outlook will no longer be blocked by Gmail.

Why is my Outlook not accepting my Gmail password?
