 +===== GMAIL =====
  
 +The basic GMAIL SMTP settings are as follows:
 +
 +\\
 +^ SMTP Server Information  ^                 |
 +| SMTP Server Address:     | smtp.gmail.com  |

 +\\
 +<note tip>
 +You will use the App Password that you create below in place of the normal email password in the setup in FastManager
 +</note>
 +
 +\\
 +=== Here’s how: ===
 +
 +
 +First login to your Google account and enable 2-Step Verification (if it is not already enabled). \\
 +[[https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839|for more information about how to do this, Click Here]]
 +
 +//If you don’t have the option to enable 2-Step Verification, it might be because://
 +    * This is a Google Workspace account and the admin has not allowed 2-Step Verification as an option for individual mailboxes.
 +    * 2-Step Verification is only set up for security keys.
 +    * Your account is through work, school, or other organization.
 +    * You turned on Advanced Protection.
 +
 +Once you have 2-Step Verification enabled:
 +  * In your [[https://myaccount.google.com|Google Account]], click on //"Security"// at the left,
 +  * Under “How you sign in to Google,” select **2 Step Verification** again, 
 +  * Scroll to the bottom and click on //App Passwords//
 +  * Under **"App"** and choose “//Custom App//” (give it a name, maybe: “FastManager”) and then click on //Generate//,
 +  * The App Password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device. Select that 16 character code and copy it to your clipboard,
 +  * Now you can go to the email account settings in FastManager and paste this new //App Password// (the 16-character code) instead of your normal Google account password (all the other settings will remain the same):

 +=== Google Business (Workspace) ===
 +
 +If you have a Business Account with Google ("Workspace") the organisation admin will have to login and go to [[https://admin.google.com]] and turn on 2-Step Verification for the users.  \\
