App password rejected

Your email address or app password was not accepted.

What to do

  1. Re-open your Google Account → Security2-Step VerificationApp passwords.
  2. Delete the old app password and create a new one (16 characters).
  3. Copy it into Snapattic exactly — no spaces needed, we ignore them.
  4. Reconnect.

Common causes

  • A typo, or an extra/missing character.
  • The app password was deleted or expired in your Google Account.
  • You pasted your account password instead of an app password. We never accept or store your account password.

Good to know

Snapattic only reads your mail. It never modifies, moves, flags, or deletes anything, and it connects with an app password so your account password never leaves your browser. See Enable IMAP if IMAP itself is turned off.
