Force Outlook 2019 with GMail 2-Step to Require Login?

Windows 10 Pro Ver 22H2, Outlook 2019

I recently upgraded from Outlook 2016 to Outlook 2019 with my Gmail account. At some point Gmail would not log on (via Outlook nor Browser) with my old password and required me to convert to 2-Step login. I did so, and can successfully log on from my browser.

However I have problems with Outlook, and after searching the web exhaustively, have not found this problem addressed: I want to FORCE A LOGIN every time Outlook is started. I've found tons on suggestions for doing the opposite. The few that deal with this problem are all from years ago, or if they are posted recently still deal with the way things used to be, and certainly not with 2-Step Gmail logins.

In the past with Outlook 2016, I would go into the accounts page, where you can specify your account information, IMAP, user ID and password. I could uncheck Remember Password and that would solve it. However, I cannot find that page anymore, even the Change option in the Email Accounts setting gets me to an abbreviated window that appears to be brain dead for anything beyond "General Settings", and shows no way to get to the page I want,

As a result, once I log on to Gmail via Outlook, it never prompts me for a login again. Even a restart has no effect. The only way I've found to force a login is to click the Reset Mail settings button on the aforementioned General settings window, put the settings the same as before. Then it will require a login to GMail.

Can anyone help?

No luck. Outlook keeps asking for a password after editing my account, just like when I used my old one. According to the 2-step instructions, I'm supposed to use my previous password and that will trigger the GMail 2-step login, but it doesn't.

I ran across a registry edit that was supposed to bypass the login requirement, so I created the value and set it to the opposite value, but that had no effect.

I tried using the App Password but it didn't work. Maybe because I already created a 2-Step login?
I tried creating a dummy account on Gmail and following the instructions from Gmail and Microsoft, but no luck.
I guess it's another full uninstall and reinstall of Outlook. The problem is I don't know how much the PST file might be contributing to this problem (it seems to have its fingers in everything Outlook), and I can't start from scratch on the PST. I tried a utility that "repaired" corrupted PST files, but it didn't help this particular problem, just identified some folders that I wasn't using anyway.

Well, I do have a system image backup and also an Outlook PST backup from 1-Feb-2024. The problem is that they reflect a time when I could log in with a simple password, but Gmail no longer recognizes that, or rather, it recognizes it as a 2-step password in the browser but not in Outlook. It just continually ask for the password. The only reason I went with 2-Step login was because GMail forced me to.

I'm not going to restore the system image backup because that affects too many other things. I'm persistent. I'll work things out.

"Anyway I can use an app password with 2FA (text to phone) enabled and if using an app password I can sign in without getting a text."

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but what I'm trying to do is force Outlook to require a login each time it is started. It already starts without a problem, but then anyone can just startup Outlook and have access to my email. Not very secure (not secure at all).
