To turn on two-factor authentication and get an app password, use the following steps.
We recommend turning on two-factor authentication and using an app password. Gmail does allow you to add your account to Outlook without setting up two-factor authentication and using an app password, but you must turn on a setting that allows "less secure apps" to connect to your account. In that case, you'll need to use two-factor authentication and an app password to help verify that you're the person trying to access your Gmail account.
If Outlook won’t accept your password and you know you’re using the right password for your Gmail account, you might have an older version of Outlook that doesn't currently support this faster Gmail setup option. If you need instructions for adding an email account using advanced settings, see Use advanced setup to add a POP or IMAP email account in Outlook for PC. Installing Outlook Mobile is a great way to stay up-to-date on the go. Partnering with Windows OEMs means it's even less likely users will be touching Windows' nearby sharing feature, assuming others join HP in installing Google's app by default.If you check the box for Setup Outlook Mobile on my phone, too, you'll be taken to a website where you can enter your mobile phone number and you'll receive a link to download Outlook for iOS or Outlook for Android. Third-party apps on Android can offer this kind of functionality, but Microsoft never took up that job, and Google has now beat it to the punch. While it's been around for a few years, Microsoft has never really expanded it beyond Windows, making it essentially useless if you want to transfer files from your phone. Interestingly, this is something of a blow against Microsoft's own nearby sharing functionality, which is built into Windows 11 (and 10). According to Google, the beta version of the app already has more than 1.7 million downloads.
This should make the experience even more universally available, and it could become one of the most popular ways to share files between devices. Another major announcement is that Google is working with certain Windows OEMs to build the Nearby Share app into select Windows PCs, such as the recently-launched HP Dragonfly Pro (which, coincidentally, is also available in a Chromebook version).
