If you wish to use an email client software that doesn’t support OAuth or add another sender address to your account, you have to authenticate with an App Password.
To create an App Password, you must set up 2-Step Verification for your G Suite account, which requires you to sign in to your account with one-time password in addition to your SPS-ID password. After you enable 2-Step Verification, you can create an App Password to set up IMAP/POP/SMTP settings.
When you enable 2-Step Verification:
You will need a smartphone to set up.
You will no longer be able to sign in with your G Suite local password.
You will still use multi-factor authentication provided by IIMC to log in to G Suite, instead of 2-Step Verification which Google offers.
It may take about 24 hours for the process to complete. If you have a problem setting up 2-Step Verification, try again later.
If you wish to use an App Password, follow the steps below:
1. Enable 2-Step Verification

Note:
The 'App name' is for identifying the purpose of the password you issued in the 'App password' field. The name is arbitrary.

Note:
Do not close this screen until you have finished setting up your email software, etc.
Just like your normal password, this app password grants complete access to your Google Account. You won't need to remember it, so don't write it down or share it with anyone.
You can create multiple app passwords. If you are setting up a different device or have forgotten a password, please create a new one using the same steps. You can also use One password for multiple setups.
Note:
If the setup is not successful, please check the 'Security alert' email you received from Google immediately after setting up the Google app password.
Please check the contents and if there is no problem, approve it.
