In this article, we are going to show the complete steps to Create Google App Passwords<\/a><\/strong> to sign in with third-party apps. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our daily lives, we use various apps and services with our Gmail account. However, due to changes in security protocols, Google has added more security layers like two-step verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This gives an extra layer of security to users’ Gmail accounts, but on the other hand, it can cause problems for third-party apps that do not support direct login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But users don\u2019t need to worry because Google has also offered a solution for this known as Google App Passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Understanding the Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

As with standard Gmail account passwords, the issue occurs with third-party app logins. Users will have to go through Google’s two-step verification process every time they log in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means, that after signing in with the email address and password, users have to wait until they receive the security code on their mobile. Only after adding that security code the users will be able to login successfully with their Gmail account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ease this process, Google has created its solution called Google App Passwords. With it, users can create an application-specific password that enables third-party apps to access a Google Account without going through two-step verification and compromising the primary password.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How to Create Google App Passwords? Step by Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Open a web browser and start by logging into your Google account<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"gmail<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Click on your profile picture and hit on \u201cmanage your Google Account<\/strong>\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"gmail<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • In the left-side menu bar, click on “Security<\/strong>“.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Scroll down select 2-Step verification<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Enter your Google account password again for security purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Move to the bottom and select App Passwords<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Provide an App name and hit the “Create<\/strong>” button to generate the App Password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Copy the generated App Password and click on Done<\/strong> to close the screen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Open the third-party app and paste the App Password where required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    Note<\/strong>: Once the app password is generated, you won’t be able to see the app password again, so make sure to store it safely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                    \n

                    Important points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    • Before generating an app password, it is necessary to enable two-step verification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • If you stop using a third-party app, remove its app password to maintain security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

                      Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
