Setting up SMTP for Gmail
This article provides step-by-step instructions for setting up Gmail for t3, PHCloud, Ph28, and t28
Due to Google's security requirements, 2FA is required for Gmail setup. This adds an extra layer of security to your Google account by sending authorization codes to your phone. It ensures that physical ownership of a device is required for initially logging in, and not just the password itself.
Step 1: Log into Google
Go to www.google.com and log in using your Google account credentials.
Step 2: Enable 2-Step Verification
Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
Click on "Google Account."
Click on "Security" on the left-hand side of the screen.
Under "Signing in to Google," click "2-Step Verification."
Click "Get Started" and follow the instructions to enable 2-Step Verification.
Step 3: Generate an app password for SMTP authentication.
Select the app from the drop-down choice and choose "Other
(Custom Name)."
Give it the name "Roeville Email" and select "Generate".
This will then pop up with an app password, which you need to note down to save for later.
If you do not save the password during this step, you will not be able to recover it afterwards and will need to repeat step 3Setting up SMTP in your software
