3. Under "Signing in to Google," click on "App passwords."
4. You will be prompted to re-enter your password. Enter it and click on "Next."
5. Select the app you want to generate a password for from the drop-down menu.
6. Select the device you are using the app on from the next drop-down menu.
7. Click on "Generate" to create a unique, app-specific password.
