Receiving wrong verification code to verify email

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are receiving a wrong verification code for email verification, we will look into this for you. However, please reply with the following details to assist you further:

• Where exactly do you get the prompt/notification to verify the email address?
  
• How are you trying to verify the email?
  

However, you can try using other options to request the verification code i.e. requesting the code over a call or as a text to your phone number and see if that helps in resolving the issue.



For more information on troubleshooting verification codes, you can refer the section

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.

Outlook & Gmail requires two-step verification

I'm running Win 10 Pro on an HP notebook with Office 365. I use Outlook to send and receive email from my gmail and yahoo email accounts.

Today I noticed that Outlook couldn't access gmail. I can access gmail with my browser and android phone no problem.

I contacted Microsoft Support and the first rep fixed the problem by generating an app password and two-step verification. I removed the two-step verification, and the problem reoccured.

I contacted Microsoft Support again and the rep could not get Outlook to send and receive gmail unless two-step verifciation was active. The two-step verification is a pain in the ass.

I'd like to find a way to continue using Outlook for gmail, but I don't want the hassle of two-step verifcation.

I think Microsoft and Google ought to fix this issue. I don't think you should need a smart phone to use Outlook.

Does anyone know of a solution that doesn't require two-step verification?
