Create and use app passwords

If you're using two-step confirmation and you get an "Incorrect password" error when you sign in, you may be able to use an app password instead.

1. Open your Google account.

2. Select Security.

3. Under "Sign in to Google," select App passwords. You may be required to sign in. If this option is not available, it may be for the following reasons:

   • Two-step confirmation is not set up for your account.

   • Two-step confirmation is set up only for security keys.

   • You are using an account through your workplace, educational institution, or other organization.

   • You have enabled the advanced security program.

4. Click Select App at the bottom and select the appropriate app, then > select Device. Then select the appropriate device and then > Create.

5. Follow the instructions to enter the app password. The app password is the 16-digit code in the yellow bar on your device.

6. Click Done.

Tip: You don't need to remember app passwords because you usually only need to enter them once per app or device.
