# Email Configuration

Before sending phishing tests, you must properly configure the email account that will be used to send the phishing messages.

The following instructions apply to Gmail. For other providers, necessary adjustments will need to be made.

### Two-Step Verification

The first step is to enable two-step verification on the email account that will be used. To do this:

1. Open your **Google Account**.
2. In the navigation panel, select **Security**.
3. Under **“How you sign in to Google”**, click **“2-Step Verification”** and then click **“Get Started”**.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

### App Password

To create an app password, follow these steps:

{% hint style="info" %}
Two-step verification must already be enabled.
{% endhint %}

1. Go to the[ **App Passwords**](https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords) section.
2. Make sure you’re logged into the correct email account. In some cases, you may need to log in again.
3. In the **“App name”** field, enter a name to identify the password and click **“Create”**.
4. A modal will display the generated app password.

{% hint style="info" %}
Save this password in your password manager, as it cannot be viewed again once the modal is closed. If lost, a new one must be generated.
{% endhint %}
