Device or System
I'm trying to connect an older email client to my Gmail account using SMTP. It keeps rejecting my normal Google password, and I've read that I need something called an 'app password'.
What You Are Trying to Do
Where to find the app passwords page in my Google Account settings and how to generate one for my email client.
What You Have Already Tried
I've looked through myaccount.google.com under Security but can't find any 'App passwords' option. Some guides say it only appears after enabling 2-Step Verification, others link to a page that shows me an error. I'm stuck going in circles between settings pages.
