Many email providers require that the third-party apps or devices use two-factor authentication to sign into their accounts. Therefore, for correct email notification setup, you must grant access permissions to NAKIVO Backup & Replication via your account security settings and generate a unique SMTP password.

As an example, you can follow the instructions for setting up a Gmail account notifications below:

1. Log into your Google account and allow 2-step verification (you will be asked to complete a second step to verify it’s you when you sign in):

   

2. Scroll down to the App passwords section and click the arrow button to proceed with the password.

   

3. Type your app name and click Create to generate the password.

   

4. Now, copy the generated password and paste it into the SMTP password field in the Settings > General > Email Settings tab.
