Email Setup : Gmail

To access your Gmail account on WINK, you'll need to generate and use an 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!!

  1. Go to your Google Account.

  2. On the left navigation panel, choose Security.
  3. On the 'Search' panel, search for 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 organisation
    • You’ve turned on Advanced Protection for your account

    For Gmail Setup better to use 587 TLS instead of 465 SSL
