Thank you for all the help above. Now that Google have gone through with their threat to cut off all their users of Gmail still using old versions of Outlook to retrieve their POP3 mail, I need help with a workaround please to restore it again.

Current situation:

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

Microsoft Office 2013 ProPlus VL installed, activated and working fine. Version 15.0.5441.1000_04.16.2022-08.22.17

I have followed the instructions given here:

and I've created the necessary registry modification file and applied it successfully. I've rebooted the computer and Gmail is still rejecting the authentication information.

Can anyone please walk me through what's required to get Gmail working again in the simplest possible way? This is only for a simple, single computer for home use. No work environment, so document sharing across networks. Just plain, simple single user POP3/SMTP mail on a single computer with all locally stored database storage.

The user is elderly parents. I just need a solution that is as close as possible to what they're familiar with from the last 20 years. I don't want to reinvent the wheel from first principals. Windows 7 works fine. Office 2013 works fine. I don't want to have to buy a whole new computer with Windows 11 on it just to retrieve Gmail. Is that too much to ask?

Thank you for any and all help offered.

Why are you followed the instructions from Microsoft, it not going, because you need a valid Product Key from Microsoft. Look up my post above and follow the simple instructions.

Here are few websites may help do a work around for “Outlook and Gmail's Less Secure”

Thank you so much uk666, yes this has been very helpful. I used the second link you provided and worked my way through the steps making several wrong turns along the way, but eventually got there in the end. I now have Outlook 2013 seemingly able to get POP3 mail from Gmail in Windows 7 without throwing up stupid prompts and requests for extra passwords and everything else.

I must say though that Google's implementation of this and their providing of guides and instructions on how to make it work are appalling at best. I dare say I would never have figured this out without the third party guides to help me through the minefield.

One last question if I may, am I right in saying that Outlook 2013 is the very oldest version of Outlook that can be made to work with this new 2FA password requirement world? I ask because I'm dealing with elderly parents' computers here and they do not respond well to having to learn new software and having to find functions in new place or in fact anything that doesn't look exactly the same as what they're used to, so I'm really trying to limit the relearning process as much as possible, which in this case means trying to stay as close to Outlook 2003 as possible while still making it work.

Thank you for all your help and advice

Yes, Microsoft Outlook prior to the 2013 version does not support modern authentication. Therefore, if you are still running Outlook 2010 you have RPC (Remote Procedure Call) over HTTP-enabled. As with IMAP, it doesn’t support MFA. While a user may be required to use MFA to access their webmail (Outlook Web Access), any hacker with a copy of Outlook 2010 can access that user’s email account with a phished user name and password, thus bypassing MFA.

Thank you, I will stick with this working copy of Office 2013 in that case until Google decide to break it again with a future configuration change and force everyone to upgrade again for no good reason.

FWIW, now that I know enough about it to make it work, I can't see that this is proper 2FA or in fact adds any degree of extra security to accounts at all. This whole nightmare has been a complete and utter red herring by Google. I'm sure they like not having to support old software anymore, but that's all this is about. It's got nothing to do with adding security. All this does is force everyone to use a randomly generated password provided by Google to use to access their e-mail, instead of one they get to choose themselves. The password doesn't change, it isn't locked to any specific IP address or device and most of all there's nothing to stop any user from recording it (as I have done) and then subsequently sharing it with whomever they like. How that's different to how passwords worked before I have no idea, because all those things were true of the previous password regime as well.

I would love an explanation of how this constitutes extra security as sold by Google, because I can't see it. At best, the extra security appears to consist of a message on the screen where you get your app password generated that simply says "There's no need to write down or record this password". As soon as I read that, I knew to screenshot the page immediately because there would be no way of ever getting the password revealed again by Google in the future. That appears to be Google's idea of extra security. Ask the end user not to take a record of their password. Brilliant.
