office outlook 2021 pro , problem to oauth gmail

Hi

i have installed microsoft office 2021 pro , and outlook 2021 (the software ) but i can't create an gmail account , seems the the web software (edge or is not safe or no updated or not enough secure)

the point is that i have installed firefox and it's always updated and chrome always updated ,i have disable microsoft edge since i don't use and even i enable the problem it's still there

have you notice a problem to OAUTH or OAUTH2 to sign and create an gmail account ?

is there a fix ?

thanks

hi
yes , but thunderbird ,eM client and Mailbird they don't need 2 step authenfication
can't understand why outlook 2021 does it need ,just because when i try to add an account it does start to login /password for gmail , but it does report the brower is no updated

 

@mantra
Have you try to first to open Edge and log to your gmail account, make sur 2 step authentification in enabled for this online account, in meantime try to register your gmail account in outlook 2021.

 

gmail is converting to oauth
https://support.google.com/a/answer/9003945?hl=en

only a matter of time when given email programs refuse to work on your side with gmail as oauth became mandatory.

microsoft sent notifications mails that outlook/hotmail/etc will transit to oauth, no longer username/password.

current state for all will be oauth 2.0

 

hi
in short i haven't understood , have I to enable 2 step authentification or only oauth 2 ?
thanks

 

@mantra
if you don't have set 2 step authentification, just follow what @Brummelchen told you "Oauth2 became mandatory"
Enable 2 step verification is a advice as we are on a security forum.

 

2FA or MFA is optionable, but oauth will become madatory.

i got that mail from microsoft because i use thunderbird NOT being a microsoft program like outlook. but they do not know that i am already on oauth - this means that thunderbird opens a browser window where you need to login on gmail (or outlook.com). thunderbird grabs credentials and move on. credentials are stored as cookies - so dont let your cookies killed with a stupid cleaner.
