Written by Yashal Vagadia

Hello there, Saleshandy users! 👋

Wanna know about something that adds superhero-level protection to your email? It's called Two-Factor Authentication, 2-Step Verification, or TFA for short! 🦸‍♂️✉️

What is Two-Factor Authentication (TFA)?

Picture this: When you log into your email, you might get a special code on your phone or another email. It's like a secret handshake between you and your email account. That's the Two-Factor Authentication doing its thing! 📱🔒

TFA is like your email's superhero guard, ensuring only you can open the gates. It stops sneaky hackers and gives you peace of mind. 🛡️🕊️

When the two-factor authentication is enabled for your email accounts, you must generate an app-specific password from your email account settings to connect it with the Saleshandy application using SMTP / IMAP integration.

How to Generate the App-Specific Password?

To know how you can generate the app-specific password, please click on your ESP (Email service provider) from the below list and follow the steps mentioned there:

If you don't find your email service provider in the list above, you can contact your IT person or the email account support team to help set up your App-Specific Password.

Note:

  • Please make sure you copy the app password when generated because the password is visible only once.

  • If your ESP does not support app-specific passwords, you can disable the two-factor authentication for your email account and use the regular password to sign in at Saleshandy.

So, email hero, now you know the secret of Two-Factor Authentication! It's like having a shield for your email kingdom.
