Connect Google with an app password

Use this if your Google mailbox can't use Sign in with Google, for example because your Workspace admin hasn't approved WarmupHero.

An app password is a separate 16-character password that only WarmupHero uses. Your normal password stays private, and you can revoke the app password at any time.

    Create an app password in your Google account

    App passwords need 2-Step Verification to be on for the account. Then open myaccount.google.com/apppasswords, name it WarmupHero and copy the password Google shows.

    If the page says the setting isn't available, your Workspace admin has turned app passwords off. Ask them to approve WarmupHero so you can use Sign in with Google instead.
