App-specific passwords allow you to configure a password that is unique to each 3rd party email application you use. This improves your email account security.
Enabling App-specific passwords will mean your current password will ONLY work with Webmail. All other email applications must use one of the App-specific passwords you setup.
Prerequisites
- Email address
- Current email password
- Sign in to Webmail
- Select the app selector (top left of screen), then select Settings
- Select Accounts
- Under the App-Specific Passwords heading, select GENERATE PASSWORD
-
Enter a label or nickname so you can identify what this password is used for.
- Select GENERATE
-
Select the password displayed so you can copy this directly into your email application
Tip!
We recommend storing your passwords in a secure password manager application. You will not be able to access this password again. If you forget this password in the future, you will be required to generate a new one.
- Select OK
- You have now configured your first App-specific password, repeat the process to add additional app-specific passwords as required.
NOTE!
Now that you have enabled App-specific passwords your current password will ONLY work with Webmail. All other email applications must use one of the App-specific passwords you setup.
Please make sure you update both your incoming and outgoing passwords in ALL of your email applications.
