GMAIL Account as your email sender via SMTP

Gmail is a great alternative for sending form emails via Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) . But while Gmail SMTP is easy to use, you must do it securely. One requirement is to ensure that you have enabled Two-Step Verification for your Google account. For more information, visit: Turn on Two-Step Verification.

Getting an App Password

After enabling Two-Step Verification, you must create an App-specific Password for your Order Manager setup. Without it, the SMTP will not work. To do so, please follow the steps below:

1. Go to https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords and sign in to your account.
2. Choose Mail from the list of available apps.
3. Choose Other from the device list.
4. Enter your Custom Name. You can put “bizwizIQ” in it.
5. Click the Generate button.
6. Copy and save the password to your computer in case you need it in the future.
7. Use this password in the SMTP Password field in General System Setup | Internet E-Mail Setup Tab
8. Click the Done button, and that’s it.

You need to save the password for future use. Otherwise, you’ll have to generate a new one again since Google does not allow you to view the password once you click Done.
