We have done _Part_1) , enabled (Turned on) 2 step verification on the gmail account

We now need to do _Part2) generate / create an "Apps password"



_Part2) generate / create an "Apps password"

The start point is getting logged into the gmail account that you want to use in the CDO send Mail coding. ( see sections _1) and _2) from the previous post https://excelfox.com/forum/showthrea...ll=1#post19038

Note: It is probably advisable to copy this and keep it stored safely somewhere for future reference.
It should be a 16 character text string, probably looking something like this
