Gmail

These steps apply to both personal Gmail accounts and Google Workspace (business) accounts. Both require an app-specific password for security.

Add your Gmail account to Daylite.

1. Go to Daylite > Settings > Mail > Mail Accounts and select Add Mail Account.

2. Next, select Gmail from the list of account types.

3. Enter the email address of your Gmail account. Daylite requires you to create an app-specific password. This is a different password than the one you use to sign into Gmail.

4. Click Next to begin the guided setup.

First, you must turn on 2-Step Verification in your Google Account. This is required before you can create an App Password. If you have already enabled 2-Step Verification, move to step 7.

1. Log in to your Google Account and choose Manage Your Google Account

1. Select Security > How you sign in to Google > 2-Step Verification. If you need more detailed instructions, follow this article from Google.

In Daylite, check the box "I've enabled 2-Step Verification" and click Next to proceed to creating an App Password.

Next, you must set up an App Password for Daylite under your Google account. Click here to create an App Password.

1. On the Google App Passwords page:

• Enter "Daylite" as the app name and click Create.

Troubleshooting

Google Workspace Accounts

If you're using a Google Workspace account and cannot add your account:

• Check with your IT administrator to ensure IMAP access is enabled for your organization

• Verify that less secure app access policies allow third-party applications

• Confirm that 2-Step Verification is permitted by your organization's security policies

• Google will display a 16-digit App Password. Copy this password.

1. Return to Daylite, select the I've set up an App Password checkbox, and click Next.

1. Paste the 16-digit App Password you just generated into the Password field.

1. Click Next. Your Gmail account is now added to Daylite.
