How to Set Up Gmail with 2-Factor Authentication in Outlook<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a step each of us should take to protect our email. Instead of relying solely on the password, those logging in now must complete a second step — or authentication method — to access an email account. In this case, as with most, the second step is an application that provides a single-use code to log in.<\/p>\n

Now, unless a thief has your mobile device, your password is useless when it comes to accessing your Gmail account. Unfortunately, integration with Outlook leaves a lot to be desired. Luckily, there\u2019s a workaround.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Open Outlook and click on the File tab.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Click Account Settings and then Add and remove accounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Double click the account you wish to add 2FA to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to leave this open and move on to step four. Don\u2019t close this window, as we\u2019ll need it in a minute.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Log in to your Google account<\/strong>\u00a0if necessary, and navigate to the Sign-in & Security page.<\/p>\n
