Set Up Two Factor Authentication and App Password

Google has removed support for third party applications to log directly into Gmail Accounts via the google account’s username and password as of May 30, 2022.

For customers to continue to use the Uniform Solution and send emails using a Gmail account, they must do the following:

1. Enable 2-Step Validation for the Gmail account

• Log into the Gmail account
• Select Manage your Google Account
• Select Security

• Under Signing in to Google select the arrow next to 2-Step Verification
  
• Select Get Started
  
• You will need to log into your Gmail account again to initiate the process
  
• Provide a phone number for the 2-Step Verification to use and indicate method to receive the 2-Step notifications. Using a cell with text messaging is the easiest method.
  
• Google will generate a verification code and send it using the method you selected above. Enter the code provided in the confirmation step, select Next and then select Turn On as shown below.
  
• 
• You will see that 2-Step Verification is turned on:
  
  2. Create a Windows App password associated with this Gmail Account.
• Once 2-Step Verification is enabled, you need to generate a Windows App password. This will be the password you enter in the password field in the email setup in USW:
• Under the “Signing in to Google” section you will now see an entry for “App passwords” under 2-Step verification. Select the arrow at the end of that line to create a password
  
• You will need to log into your Gmail account again to initiate the process
  
• From the Select app drop down, select Mail
• From the Select device drop down, select Windows Computer
  
• Next select Generate
  • A password will be generated and displayed in yellow as shown below.
  • You need this value as it is the password you need to enter into the email setup section in USW as shown below.
    
  • Select Done once you have copied/written down your app password.
  • You will be returned to the App password screen and it will now have an entry displayed for Mail on my Windows computer and the date created.
