## Obtaining App Passwords from Google ## Obtaining App Passwords from Google
Google provides a mechanism to allow non-Google apps to connect to Gmail
called *App Passwords*.
Google's help page is [here](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en)
In order to use the App Passwords method of authentication 2-Step Verification
must be turned on for the account. This is the general approach:
- In a web browser log in to the Gmail account and go to
[Google Account](https://myaccount.google.com/).
- In the panel on the left, choose *Security*.
- Enable *2-Step Verification* for the account.
- The option *App Passwords* will now appear. Select this option.
- At the bottom, choose *Select app* and enter a descriptive name for
the app.
- Choose *Select Device* and choose the device.
- Click *Generate*.
- A 16 character App Password will be shown on the screen. Write this value
down because you will need it later in the configuration.
I generated two separate App Passwords - one for SMTPS and one for IMAPS.
