How To Create App Passwords For Connecting Google Workspace with ProspectFlow.io

An app password is a 16-digit passcode that gives a less secure app or device permission to access your Google Account. App passwords can only be used with accounts that have 2-Step Verification turned on.

Create & use app passwords

If you use 2-Step Verification and get a "password incorrect" error or "Invalid Second Factor" error when you sign in, you can try to use an app password.

1. Go to your Google Account.
2. From the search bar at the top of the page, search for "App Passwords" and click it when it shows up.
3. You may be asked to "Sign in", after signing in you should see the App Password screen. 
4. From the "Select App" Dropdown, click "Other" then enter the name of the app as "ProspectFlow".
   
   
    
5. Select Generate to create the app password.
6. Copy the app password to a clipboard.
7. Select Done.

If you’ve set up 2-Step Verification but can’t find the option to add an app password, it might be because:

• Your Google Account has 2-Step Verification set up only for security keys.
• You’re logged into work, school, or another organization account.
• Your Google Account has Advanced Protection.
