Hi RL98,



Regarding the issue you are having with gmail, I suggest the following troublehsooting steps



1) Go to gmail.com, login and change your password.

2) Delete your gmail account on the phone, reinstall and use the password you created in step 1.



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Answers

Windows 10 Mail forgets Gmail password almost every day

Reason

Windows Mail app keeps prompting for Gmail account password frequently with the "your gmail settings are out of date" message—

Potential Solutions

Based on some quick research there may be two options that may help resolve this. . .

1. Enable the 2-Step Verification functionality and security feature with your Gmail account and then use the 2-Step Verification to verify and trust the Windows Mail app to have access to your Gmail account
   
2. Enable and use the Less Secure Apps functionality by turning that ON and using your usual Gmail account password with the Windows Mail app to authenticate

Senior Moment Cannot Figure Out How To Change GMAIL Password??

Well this morning before I could go over the suggestions once again when I opened up gmail I was directed to a page that said, "Control, protect, and secure your account, all in one place." It is a page I have seen in the past and forgetful that I am I believe I have mostly ignored it or perhaps I did in fact take a look at it one time. I checked the page in another browser window just to make sure it was legit and by all accounts it was. That page then led me to another page that said, "Sign-in & security and Password & sign-in method." and from there it was very easy to change my password. Almost too easy : ) (Look now I'm complaining) Perhaps I should look further into Two Step Authentication. Does anyone know off hand if Two Step Authentication can be set up without using my linked phone number and without turning my phone on to receive a text message with an authentication code? Thanks.
