If you are having problems with the 2-stage login process for GMail which started today - it can be switched off


The link below shows where to look, so it can be switch off - if you don't need to use it.

There are also other options for how you would like to receive the 2nd stage security code

I have found that it interferes with MSOutlook, which can be cured by switching off the 2-stage login (if you are using a trusted/secure PC or laptop)

I hope this helps...

I’ve had similar issues with Gmail’s two-step login before. While it’s helpful for extra security, I get how it can mess with apps like Outlook. I ended up disabling it on my trusted devices but kept it for others, just to stay safe without the constant hassle. Sometimes it’s about finding what balance works for you.

If you’re managing multiple accounts or need verified ones, there’s an easy option. You can check out https://digitalstorenet.com for ready-made Gmail accounts. It’s super useful and saves time when starting from scratch isn’t practical.
