In order to continue using a Gmail SMTP accounts in the MFPs, an App Password will need to be created.

  1. Go to the Google Account.
  2. On the left side, Select Security.
  3. Under “Signing into Google,” select App Passwords. You may need to sign in. If you don’t have this option, it might be because:
    1. 2-Step Verification is not set up for your account.
    2. 2-Step Verification is only set up for security keys.
    3. Your account is through work, school, or other organization.
    4. You turned on Advanced Protection.

5. If you don’t see this, then select 2-step Verification, select “Get Started” and go through the setup process.

6. Once you enter a contact method, only enter the numbers, do not include the “G”

7. Go back to the main menu, then under Signing into Google, select “App Passwords”

8. Tap the dropdown Select App and choose “Other (Custom Name)” [Example: Altalink C8070]

9. Follow the instructions to enter the App Password. The App Password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device. (DONOTINCLUDETHESPACES)

10. Tap Done.
