      @CyruS1337 With gmail you have to create an application key on gmail itself. Your email account password would not work.

          @CyruS1337 In gmail, you need to select the Google Apps menu: 0_1567611843267_e4890805-370c-4dac-b435-300a7a0fdb2c-image.png

          Next click on Account. On the left hand side click on Security.
          On the right Select App Passwords and create a password for your app. Copy that key into your mirror where you need to enter the password and that should work.

            Hello

            Sorry if I ask again, but unfortunately I can not find it. So I go like this -> Account -> Security and then I do not find what you mean.

              @CyruS1337 No problem:
              When loggin into gmail, on the right hand side there is the “hamburger menu”:
              0_1567691436238_f4313eaa-8a4a-4186-b95f-a508940eaf92-image.png

              When you click that you get a list of apps, select Account from there. On the left click security:
              0_1567691547044_ed5f3d88-fa5f-48e4-a27e-52f0dd2b9fa0-image.png

              On the right you will see Signing into Google. Click on the “>” on the line “App Passwords”
              0_1567691628894_069c7c94-1896-4748-8f6e-0c84dc66c673-image.png

              On the next screen enter your password and then on the next screen you will be able to create the key.

                  @sdetweil Strange. I had to generate a key to get email to work. Not sure why you guys don’t see the option.

                  Edit:
                  Maybe because your 2FA is turned off.

                      I do not see it either. I see the same as sdetweil. I’ve also approved third-party apps with account access on this page below.

                      Can I do something that would help you? Post a log or something. You just have to tell me the command;)
