I recently upgraded from Outlook 2016 to Outlook 2019 with my Gmail account. At some point Gmail would not log on (via Outlook nor Browser) with my old password and required me to convert to 2-Step login. I did so, and can successfully log on from my browser.
However I have problems with Outlook, and after searching the web exhaustively, have not found this problem addressed: I want to FORCE A LOGIN every time Outlook is started. I've found tons on suggestions for doing the opposite. The few that deal with this problem are all from years ago, or if they are posted recently still deal with the way things used to be, and certainly not with 2-Step Gmail logins.
In the past with Outlook 2016, I would go into the accounts page, where you can specify your account information, IMAP, user ID and password. I could uncheck Remember Password and that would solve it. However, I cannot find that page anymore, even the Change option in the Email Accounts setting gets me to an abbreviated window that appears to be brain dead for anything beyond "General Settings", and shows no way to get to the page I want,
As a result, once I log on to Gmail via Outlook, it never prompts me for a login again. Even a restart has no effect. The only way I've found to force a login is to click the Reset Mail settings button on the aforementioned General settings window, put the settings the same as before. Then it will require a login to GMail.
Can anyone help?
