    5. Click on the Generate button.

    6. *Copy and save the password to your computer.

    7. Finally, click the Done button.

    *It is very important that you save the password to your computer so you can use it again later. If you don't save it, you'll have to generate a new one again because Google doesn't let users view their passwords after they click the Done button.

    Now, to add the Sender email:

    1. Go to your My Account page, and click on Settings, or visit here directly.

    2. Click on the Add Sender Email button.

    • Hostname: smtp.gmail.com
    • Port: 587
    • Username: {your Gmail address}

    • Security Protocol: TLS

    4. When you're finished, click on the Send Test Email button to make sure that everything is working. If it works, click on the Add Email button. If not, please check the details again and correct any errors.

    After your SMTP is set up, you can select it as the Sender Email. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on Settings from the top bar menu, and click on Emails from the left panel menu.
    2. Then, hover your mouse over the Notification Email, and click on the Pencil icon.
    3. Next, go to the Advanced tab, select your SMTP in the Sender Email options, and click on Save.
