Important: 2-Step Verification must be enabled on your Google Account before you can create app passwords.

  1. Sign in to your Google Account
  2. Go to Security.
  3. Under Signing in to Google, select 2-Step Verification.
  4. Once 2-Step Verification is active, open this link to create a new app password: https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords
  5. Enter a descriptive name (e.g. “JobCard”) to remember where you’ll use it.
  6. Click Generate.
  7. A 16-character code will appear on your screen — this is your app password.
  8. In our software, go to the Email settings and paste the password into the Password field (without spaces). Copy–pasting with spaces will cause errors.
  9. Select Done.
