Using TB 115.8.1 on Windows 10 Pro.

I just recovered a TB backup file to the latest TB. I have two existing accounts and neither will connect to gmail (as they once did). Account 1 shows nothing in the saved login window and I can find no way to create the login data and password to connect to gmail. Account 2 does have login/password data in the saved login window, and it is the correct gmail password. Neither of these account will connect to gmail and attempts to will produce unable to connect warnings and offer to update passwords. Inserting the password in this utility does not lead to a connection.

How do I repair these accounts to connect to gmail?
