Unfortunately, when less secure apps are not allowed, Outlook can't connect to Gmail servers, unless you also enable two-factor authorization then use an app password in Outlook. Other people said Google sent them an email recommending a security checkup or saying they were using less secure apps or and they took Google's advice to disable less secure apps. (The "someone" turned out to be himself while using a hotspot.) One of the steps was to turn off the allow less secure apps options, which he did. He went through the steps and made the changes they suggested. While I was looking at his computer, he told me Google sent him an email because someone tried to connect to his account and the email included a list of steps to take to insure the account was secure. It was perplexing until one client wanted me to fix it for him. I started seeing a lot of Gmail users asking for help because Outlook stopped syncing.
