There is also a way to get a password specific to each application you are
using. It does not matter if it is Outlook, some other browser or your
iPhone. Each one is considered separate. If I remember right, Gmail makes
the password for you, and sends it to you in a text message. You then have
to copy it into the application that you want to be able to access Gmail.
