Get Google User's App-Specific Password

This section guides you on how to get your Google Account's app-specific password.

To get app specific password, you need to head over to https://myaccount.google.com/security section when logged in.

Once done, select the "App Passwords" option. Please keep in mind that you will be prompted for password to verify "you are you". Google may go even further like challenging you with your 2FA if they still think you are not you).

Once done, you can create the app-specific password by selecting "select app" or "select device". I recommends select "others" in the options list in order for you to type in your device name. Once you're done, select "Generate" button to create a password.

Once done, Google Account will prompt you the generated app-specific password, one-time view only. You can copy the password and consume it in your application. Based on the example below, the password is (without space): vhhvlbxyxqyfkvdr.

IMPORTANT NOTE

1. You should keep this one-time view only page opened until your app integration is tested working successfully. Do not close it until it's done.
2. In case you accidentally close it without properly use it, then you need to delete the app specific password by pressing the garbage bin next to it and regenerate a new one.
3. Do not save the password elsewhere. That's the whole purpose of app specific password: to easily generate and delete, one time deployment, and forget about it. You can always return here and re-create a new one once you lost the old one.
