Setting up an email service that uses Google can be daunting, especially since Google no longer supports using your regular email address and password for external apps. The easiest way to get around this is by generating an app password from your Google account.

In this article, I’ll guide you through the steps to generate an app password. Let’s get started!

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Click on your account icon and select “Manage your Google Account.”

Step 2: In the account page, select “Security” from the left-hand menu.

Step 3: Set up two-factor authentication (If you already have this set up, proceed to step 5).

Step 4: Click on “2-Step Verification” and follow the prompts to turn it on. Once done, return to your account page.

Step 5: Use the search bar on your Google Account page to search for “App Passwords” and select it.

Step 6: Enter the name of the app for which you’re generating the password, and click “Create.”

Step 7: Your app password will be displayed on the next page. Copy it and use it as the password along with your email address.

I hope this guide helps!
