How do I create a password for an email app?

What is an email app password?

If you have two-step login turned on and want to use an email app, you can’t log in with your regular password (the one you use to log in in your browser). For each app that uses IMAP or POP, you need to create a separate email app password.

How to do it:

1. Log in to your account in your browser.
2. Click Security.
3. Go to the Two-step login tab.
4. Make sure two-step login is turned on (app code or security key). Otherwise, the button in the Email app passwords section will be inactive.
5. In the Email app passwords section, click Create password.
6. Fill in the required details: the name of the email app and the name of the device.
7. You will see the generated password on the screen. Use it in your email app.
8. Once the password is saved, you will see a confirmation message.
9. If you use more than one email app, remember to create a separate password for each one.

My email app password doesn’t work

Check that you are typing it correctly. The password should not contain spaces.
Each password works on only 1 device. If you have more devices, you need to create a separate password for each one.

What happens if I delete an email app password from the list?

The email app will stop downloading your mail.
If you create a new password, you can delete the previous one.

What happens if I lose the password?

Nothing, as long as you stay logged in to the email app. If you log out, you will need a new password to log in again. You can create it the same way as the previous one.
