Windows 10: Unable to get verification code on gmail

I am trying to login my User on my laptop and its asking me to sign in to my Microsoft account then asking for the verification code it sent but I never receive it.

:)

 

Add gmail account to outlook without text message verification?

A screenshot might help us identify whether it is MS or gmail that is responsible for this (my guess is gmail). The MS instructions you linked to say that no verification should be required if 2FA (in gmail) is off.

I suggest you turn on 2FA in gmail, and try again.

 

Outlook & Gmail requires two-step verification

I have used the procedure described on Outlook and 2-Step Verification for Gmail accounts - MSOutlook.info (two-step verification + create an app id password) to access Gmail POP3 from Outlook 2010. Now I have two passwords - A password created by me to access Gmail on a browser - A password created by Gmail to be used on Outlook (where does two-step verification comes in I don't know as Outlook works the same way as before)

 

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?
