    For Outlook on iPhone with a Gmail account, repeated Google sign-in prompts are commonly addressed by checking these items:

    1. Update Outlook for iOS to the latest version. Repeated password prompts can happen after security standards in the app are updated.
    2. Make sure Gmail IMAP is enabled:
      • Open Gmail in a browser.
      • Go to Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
      • Under IMAP Access, select Enable IMAP.
      • Select Save Changes.
    3. Remove and add the Gmail account again in Outlook for iOS:
      • In Outlook, tap the account icon.
      • Tap Settings.
      • Tap Add Account > Add an Email account.
      • Enter the Gmail address.
      • If Outlook does not automatically detect Google, tap Google on the account setup page and then sign in.
    4. If Google two-step verification is enabled, complete the Google verification screen when it appears. Outlook for Android and iOS supports Gmail two-step authentication / verification.
    5. If the issue continues during Google verification, use Google’s two-step verification help page: this Google page.
    6. If the problem is with a Microsoft account in Outlook mobile instead of Gmail, use the Microsoft sign-in helper tool: Start.
