I got a new iPhone XS and this pop-up keeps asking me for a CardDav password for Google everytime I access my contacts. I do not have CardDav in my settings to turn this annoying thing off. I put my defaut contacts account on iPhone to turn Google off and it didn't work. I turned off settings on an app that uses CardDav and still didn't work. CardDAV is an open standard while Google's Contacts API is proprietary. I can't speak for Outlook, but since the issue is with Google's CardDAV API, it won't matter which other app you switch to. The problem will still be there if that app uses CardDAV.

Recently Google announced that it would no longer support Microsoft’s ActiveSync for syncing Google services — Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts — with new mobile devices. Current users would not be affected but newer user would not have the option.
This will have an impact on iPhone and iPad users who are used ActiveSync services for push notification. However, Google does support standard open protocols — IMAP for email, CalDAV for calendar, and CardDAV for contacts — for connected to it’s services. iOS users aren’t left completely without connectivity options. iOS supports these options natively and they are easy to configure.
Launch the Settings app and navigate to Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Under the Accounts section tap Add Account.
From the list tap, Other.
The Calendaring Extension to WebDAV (CalDAV) is an Internet protocol standard allowing a calendar client to get access to scheduling information on a remote server. iOS supports CalDAV natively and setup is relatively easy via the Settings app.
In the Calendar section tap Add CalDAV Account.
In the server section enter google.com for the server. Use your full Gmail email address for the username. If you have enabled two-factor authentication on your account enter the application specific passcode instead. Tap the Next button to complete the setup.

That’s it for calendar. Now for Contacts.
The Card Extension to WebDAV (CardDAV) is an Internet protocol allowing an address book client to exchange contact information with a remote server. iOS supports CardDAV natively and setup is similar to setting up CalDAV.
In the Calendar section tap Add CardDAV Account.
In the server section enter google.com for the server. Use your full Gmail email address for the username. If you have enabled two-factor authentication on your account enter the application specific passcode instead. Tap the Next button to complete the setup.
Now for the last piece.
Internet Message Access Protocol is an Internet standard protocol used by a Mail User Agent (MUA) to get access to email on a remote server. iOS natively supports this standard.
In the Calendar section tap Add Mail Account.
In the Incoming Mail Server field enter imap.google.com. In the Outgoing Mail Server field enter smtp.google.com. Use your full Gmail email address for the username. If you have enabled two-factor authentication on your account enter the application specific passcode instead. Tap the Next button. You may be prompted to save the settings. Tap Save and then make sure the Mail and Notes switches are on before tapping Save again. Your account is now setup.
