Enable 2-Step Authentication & Set up App Password from Gmail

Step 1: Make sure 2-Step Verification is ON

• App Passwords only work if 2-Step Verification is enabled.

• Go to Google Account Security.

• Under “How you sign in to Google”, check that 2-Step Verification is turned on.

Step 2: Go to App Passwords

1. In the same Security page, under “Signing in to Google”, click App passwords. (You may need to log in again.)

2. If you don’t see this option, it means:

   • 2-Step Verification isn’t enabled, OR

   • Your Google Workspace admin disabled it, OR

   • You’re using an account that doesn’t allow app passwords.

Step 3: Generate an App Password

1. At the App passwords page:

   • In the Select app dropdown, choose the app you want (Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc.).

   • In the Select device dropdown, choose your device (or select "Other" and type a name).

2. Click Generate.

Step 4: Use the App Password

• A 16-character code will appear (e.g., abcd efgh ijkl mnop).

• Enter this instead of your regular Gmail password when adding your account to the app.

Step 5: Save it

• You don’t need to remember the code—once it’s entered in the app, it stays saved.

• If you remove the app or device later, you can revoke the App Password from the same page.
