🔐 Generate App Password in Google Workspace
App Passwords allow you to sign in to your Google Workspace account securely on apps and devices that don’t support 2-Step Verification codes.
📝 Steps to Generate App Password
- Sign in to your Google account at myaccount.google.com
- Go to Security from the left-hand menu.
- Ensure 2-Step Verification is enabled. (If not, enable it first)
- Scroll down and click App passwords.
- Sign in again if prompted.
- Select the app (e.g., Mail) and device (e.g., Windows Computer), then click Generate.
- Copy the 16-digit app password and use it in your application.
⚠️ Important Note:
App passwords are specific to each app or device. You do not need to remember it — just generate a new one if needed.
🛠 Troubleshooting Tips
- “App passwords” option not visible? Ensure you’ve enabled 2-Step Verification first.
