Generate an app password

1

Enable two-step verification

Open Google Account security and turn on Two-Step Verification under “How you sign in to Google.”
2

Open App passwords

On the same page, find App passwords. If you do not see it, confirm 2FA is enabled and your account type supports it (Workspace admins may need to configure this separately).
3

Create the password

Select an app type (e.g. Mail) and device (e.g. Other with a custom name), then click Generate. Copy the 16-character password (e.g. abcd efgh ijkl mnop); spaces can be ignored.
Personal Gmail accounts: go directly to myaccount.google.com/apppasswords. For Google Workspace, contact your admin if app passwords are disabled.
