Google App Password or often called application-specific password, is a 16-digit alphanumeric code that lets you sign in to your Google Account from apps on devices that don’t support 2-Step Verification. With app password enabled, you nevermore have to disclose your primary account password. App Passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on.

Here is the stepwise guide for creating an app password so that you can successfully integrate it with PHPMailer to send and receive emails on your server.



Step 1. Login to Google Account

Go to myaccount.google.com (if not signed in, you will be asked to sign-in to your account).

Step 2. Enable 2-Step Verification

First, you have to enable the 2-Step Verification on your account before you set up the app password.

Click on the Security tab on the left-hand side to go to the Security page and within the section Signing in to Google click on 2-Step Verification.

Now you have successfully generated your app password. Copy this code and paste it somewhere safe, until you haven’t added it to the PHP script.

Remember, don’t share it with anyone.


App passwords are a security risk, so you should keep them safe and revoke application-specific passwords you no longer use. Be careful with them, and treat them like the master passwords to your account that they are.

You have successfully generated the app password now let’s use it in FinalBooks Setting.
