How to Fix "Could not Authenticate" Error in SMTP/IMAP?
1️⃣ Misspelled Email Address
Double-check that you haven't mistyped the email address. Those pesky typos can trip us up sometimes! 😅
Moreover, if you use a different username for the email account, ensure it is entered correctly and verified by your email service provider.
2️⃣ Multi-Factor Authentication is Enabled
SMTP connection can't be established if you've enabled multi-factor authentication for your email account; it's time to generate an App Password. App Password will allow SalesHandy to connect to your email account via SMTP seamlessly. To learn more about How to generate an App Password, Click Here.
