Hey everyone, so I figured out a workaround since OP's solution didn't work for me.

I'm using Outlook 365 on a 2020 M1 Macbook Pro running Big Sur 11.5.1 and Outlook 16.51.

Signing out of accounts beforehand or changing sign-in method wasn't useful either.

edu student account let my other Gmail accounts sign in successfully afterwards. In my case, signing in successfully through my Google-hosted. Tl dr: You may need some different 3rd party 2-factor authentication to let you sign into a google-hosted account before Outlook will successfully sync with other.

I even tried changing default browsers, and switching from normal password sign-ins to "Use your Phone to sign in" but they didn't matter either. I also noticed that combinations of signing out of your accounts via System Preferences or removing signed-in Google accounts in my browser(s) didn't help. My student account uses Duo (a different 2-factor authentication company, not Google's) to verify sign-ins, but once Outlook got a single successful sign-in to any Google account everything was smooth sailing even if the rest of the accounts were verified by google itself. It seems like Google's in-house authentication methods doesn't play well with Outlook's sign-in process, especially after Step 6 where your browser asks if you want to open Outlook again. After I signed into that student account first, the rest of the gmail accounts works with no hassle or workarounds needed. The fix I listed above ended up not working until I signed into my student account which also happens to be hosted through google servers. which made me go through the process all over again. I added my student account no problem.ĮDIT July 31: In my infinite and self-destructive wisdom I decided to sign out and sign in again to Outlook. This solution works even for accounts that don't have the ending. I hope this helps out the poor souls that suffered through this login-loop like I did.

This means that your Mac will clear out all data related to the account and will stop syncing it, but will not delete it from your other Apple devices.
