How to Generate App Passwords for Google Workspace

When you use 2-Step Verification, some apps or devices may be blocked from accessing your Google Account. App Passwords are a way to let the blocked app or device access your Google Account.

Tip: Whenever possible, connect apps to your Google Account by selecting the “Sign in with Google” option available in many apps

What is App Password?

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

How to Create App Password

Note: If you use 2-Step-Verification and are seeing a “password incorrect” error when trying to access your Google Account, an App Password may solve the problem.

  • Go to your Google Account.
  • On the left navigation panel, choose Security.
  • On the “Signing in to Google” panel, choose App Passwords.
  • If you don’t see this option:
    2-Step Verification is not set up for your account.
    2-Step Verification is set up for security keys only.
  • Your account is through work, school, or other organization.
  • You’ve turned on Advanced Protection for your account.
  • At the bottom, choose Select app and choose the app you’re using.
  • Choose Select device and choose the device you’re using.
  • Choose Generate.
  • Follow the instructions to enter the App Password. The App Password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device.
  • Choose Done.

Most of the time, you’ll only have to enter an App Password once per app or device, so don’t worry about memorizing it.
