If it does not work

  • App passwords is missing: 2-Step Verification is off, or your Google Workspace administrator does not allow it for your account.
  • Authentication failed: create a new app password and paste it again. Your normal Google password does not work here.
  • Changing your Google password removes every app password. Create a new one and update the mailbox.
