The pup-up asking for password keeps appearing and won't accept password.

I powered up my PC on April 29, 2020 like I do every day. Yesterday however it started popping up a Google login window, asking for my Gmail address and password.

When I tried to open Outlook it asked for a password.

2 days of it now.

Any ideas how I can fix this and get my IMAP folders re-synced to Outlook?

Using the password didn't work so I changed it. Broken again.

Uninstalled/reinstalled Outlook, reset everything in gmail for recommended fixes - 2 step verification, app password for Outlook, etc, etc. Not even using it through outlook although I have in the past and never had this issue. Are you sure you want to continue?
