1445402 2018-01-25 19:33:00 Wifes laptop running Win10 has developed the issue of Outlook2010 constantly asking for the password for both her Gmail addresses. We have changed nothing and Gmail is set to allow use of less secure apps. Google provides no clues as all it says is to allow thee less secure apps.

Any ideas out there?

I switched to Thunderbird myself so that could be an option if I can't fix her outlook. Before anyone suggest just using the webmail no as we prefer to have our emails stored on the local system for reference.

Thanks

1445403 2018-01-25 20:51:00 Have your tried just switching the less secure apps setting off for a couple of minutes and then on again?
Also how is Outlook getting the emails? POP or IMAP?
Is that setting still enabled in the gmail account?

1445407 2018-01-25 23:25:00 Is the Password Checkbox ticked?
It should be found under File / Account Settings/Account Settings
Select the Email Account and click Change near the top of that open window

We've had a few issues with NOD32 of late so I would try uninstall that and see if it works.
If it does reinstall the latest version of NOD32.
