How to set up a google workspace account in CardClan

2-step authentication adds an extra security layer to your email account and prevents unauthorized access to it.


Setting 1: Allow less secure apps at the admin level

Head over to https://admin.google.com/ac/security/lsa and click on "Allow users to manage their access to less secure apps".

Setting 2: Allows Less Secure Apps (mailbox level)

Go to https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps and toggle as in the picture below.

Now try connecting your account to CardClan again.


If this doesn't work please follow the instructions below:

Setting 1: In your Google Account, navigate to the Security section. Under Signing in to Google, select 2-Step Verification and click Get started.

Setting 2: Set up your phone number and choose the way you want to receive your security codes. Confirm that it works and turn the 2-step verification On.


Setting 3: Add an App password

An App password is a 16-digit passkey that gives an app permission to access your Google Account. If you use 2-Step Verification and see a “password incorrect” error while trying to access your Google Account, an App password may solve the issue.

  • In your Google Account, select Signing into Google.
  • Click on the App password.
  • Choose Other (Custom name), insert cardclan.io and generate the app password.

Generate App password

  • Save the generated app password and use it when setting up your SMTP sender account instead of the password to your account for SMTP credentials.
