IMPORTANT UPDATE: less secure app option is no longer available. See the following steps: Instead of turning on the "Less secure app address" (no longer available from the 30th May 2022) you need to generate a password for an app. 1. Go to ‘Settings’ and choose ‘Security’ 2. Go down to ‘Signing in to Google’ and choose the ‘App password’ 3. Select ‘Mail’ as the app and set ‘Other’ as the device 4. Insert the email address that you're using (not the alias that you want to set up) and then copy the generated password 5. Use the email username (without @gmail.com) and the generated password on the second step of the video (under SMTP server bar) Everything else is the same as explained in the video. - Gaijin (Thanks for mentioning this)
Thank you @MicahOrmand! I was able to get a generated password. But still not able to get logged in. Not sure where I’m going wrong. Used my gmail password, and the generated one also, No luck ….

@@StewartGauld again! Proving my point. Hands down my man! 🙌 One suggestion though, could you remake some of your most watched videos like "how to use zoom..."

Hello Stewart, it seems as though there is always "that one" who isnt able to have things work. I ensured that all of the steps were followed closely as it was a very simple & straight forward video. It seems that even though I have "less secure apps" turned on, when I go to try everything a second time, and click "add account" it still does not go through. I am not sure what has happened as I also have 2-step verification off. I would love some further guidance with this! Thank you so much!
Hi Stuart, such a clear, easy to understand video - thank you! Just a quick question, can you revert your security settings back after you've set up the email alias?? Or will it make it not work? Thanks :)
Hi mate, yes email is free , however, you still need to own a domain or purchase one if you don't already have one (every business should have a domain) under $20 per year. Thanks!
Hi Stewart. Thanks for the informative video. Here's a question not addressed in the video: What about mass emails to send.

Hi Stewart awesome video. For me unfortunately, the error message “Authentication failed” is not resolved by the troubleshoot you described.

@@astroguyco Yeah man just change your password, refresh the browser and start the process from the beginning. That worked for me but I can't guarantee that it's the universal fix. Good luck.

I am just starting to set up my email marketing, and i put a sign up form on my website, which I tested to sign up for with my alternate email address. However, I landed in spam.

Yo your the goat for this tutorial, I was scared to try because in order to try you have to pay the $12 fee first but it worked after I changed my password!!! Thanks bruv
I tried this today. It didn't work for me. Even after following all the steps mentioned, it kept throwing the same error message. But your tutorial is nice. I really liked it. Seems like google has added more complexity to the security. very difficult to turn-on the less secure app access!
you have to reset your gmail password after you turn ON less secure app. I just watched his video today and was having the same issue until I saw someone comment about needing to change your password. I hope this helps :)

This is a great video and very easy to follow through. Has anyone had trouble adding sending emails? It keeps telling me to add a valid email address but when I go to my domain page, my alias is there.
@@StewartGauld I did. I can't even get to that point. I verified my alias to my fwding email and when I go to set up the sending part it says the email is invalid. I tried sending an email to my alias and that came with an error too.
Hi, I have tried to do this but it won’t let me create one mind you your video is the best step by step I have watched so far and I followed all the steps even deactivated the 2factors yet nothing happened. Google is definitly not helpful on this matter as they are not responding to their chats so I sent an email and currently waiting. I am so annoyed with this because I am launching my website in few weeks and I don’t have a business email yet 😭
So does this retain a copy of all the emails I receive and send in my home email account? I'm using a newly created email address - which your video shows how - to avoid using my my new firm's email server. Do all the emails sent and rec'd to this address stay saved in my home gmail account permanently? And If I need to move these new email address purchased through Google Domain to an outlook server, are these new email addresses portable? Thank you! Appreciate any answer!
Got it all set up. I can receive emails but emails wont send. Gmail gives me the option to send with the new email but it just freezes when I try to send an email. Any fix to this?
In the email that you receive from Google that has the verification number, there is also a link that you need to click on to confirm that you are setting up this email address. Once I clicked the link, the email began working.
Hi I was wondering if you could help we are trying to set up a domain and now we are stuck at the “Less secure app” step google says this is no longer available and we can’t proceed at this point of your steps we did everything step by step the way you did

@@StewartGauld Thanks so much. Yeah there is a lot, keep em coming. btw I tried the link to signup to your community but it did not work for me. Could be issue on my end though.
Thanks for still answering the comments 🙂 I had some security questions. Before I was considering making custom domain I had around 12 gmail accounts with a different password for each one of them. I want to know how would this work for this method for example do I need to make password for each allies? and are they all connected to my initial gmail or are they independent?
Hi Stewart i noticed that i can send email as the business email i set but i cant receive emails, infact if some send a email to the business email it says to them that the email is inexistent. you know why?
Great video - I followed the instructions but I can't get past the Authentication failed error even after turning off the less secure apps. I keep getting the same error and I even got a warning email which I confirmed it was me making the attempts.
@@shayankhanvlogs9916 yes, I did - basically you need to do the authentication process very quickly because if not it will timeout on you and give an error.
Hey it doesn't work anymore, it worked last week. But now got 50 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces. I type the right accounts and stuff... so why ? any fixes ?
Thanks Stewart. This information was great and to the point until I got to the less secure app process. I did not have the option to click on app access in ‘Signing in to Google’. It took me approx an hour to figure it out. I had to turn on the 2 step verification, download and add the authenicator from app store, then the app access appeared in the box. I was then able to go back and enter the information SMTP. Considering that I am IT challenged, I am suprised that I was able to figure it out.
Hi! A year ago I set up a Business account for Free with gmail thanks to your tutorial (thank you so much). Now I am wondering how to authentificate this email in Mailerlite to keep sending marketing emails. I was able to set up SPF correctly but have no clue how to set up DKIM. I was watching your video "How To Set Up Google Workspace SPF, DKIM & DMARC" but it seems that I would need workspace. Is there a way of authentifying this free business account without using workspace? Thank you ☺
Thank you sooooo much this was so easy, I did it step by step with you, almost had issue with the less app secure because I didnt scrolled down´so almost missed it haha But made it through! thank you, you are an angel!.
I kept thinking my only option for a business email would be to pay for a website domain that was going to be at least $60+/yr. For my purpose a website is unnecessary so I was reluctant to sign up. I came across your video and successfully registered my business emails for a total of $12/yr. Thank you so much!!
It worked ! I had to reset my password for it to work. Can I enable 2 step verification and turn off less secure apps after I've completed the process?
@@StewartGauld it no longer works if I turn off the less secure apps. Also will the new Google update coming at the end of May which removes the option of turning on less secure apps affect your hack?
Thanks for sharing! It was a proven method I believe however google has changed its policy and the option to turn off less secure is no longer an option meaning this no longer works I just followed all steps and bought domain to find out it doesn’t work
Hi Stewart I've tried numerous times to complete this process but when I get to the final step I get prompted "incorrect username or password" has anything changed? thanks
But is it then possible to create separate accounts on youtube or other social media with these emailadresses? Seems this could be a problem? Or not. Since it has to be a google account?
So I have a domain but I just created another business. I created a normal gmail for the new business. Do I need to purchase another domain or could I just use my new email address under previous domain?
Hey Stewart, i got everything down to the last step, but it seems whenever i try to send out an email using the business email it does not send whenever i click on "Send" ??
Hi Stewart, have followed all the steps but having issue with the new pinned advice around less secure apps. I dont have an option to select "app password". I'm stuck - please help! Ross

@@StewartGauld I did thanks still having trouble but I’ll see if we can muscle through it
Hey!
can this work with outlook express as well?
I do not think so. I will have to look into this
Stewart you are AAAMMMAAAZING! I am so grateul to you for the value you provide through your videos. I came across your PM ClickUp video and had to search youtube for what else might be there. I Saw a lot that I need to learn for my new blogging business. I am sold and have become a subscriber. Thanks again.
You are so welcome! Thanks for joining! All the best with your new blogging business. You should be able to find lots of helpful materials on this channel!
@@StewartGauld Thanks so much. Yeah there is a lot, keep em coming.
btw I tried the link to signup to your community but it did not work for me. Could be issue on my end though.
Thank you! You helped me save money.
Welcome!
Thanks for still answering the comments 🙂 I had some security questions.
Before I was considering making custom domain I had around 12 gmail accounts with a different password for each one of them. I want to know how would this work for this method for example do I need to make password for each allies? and are they all connected to my initial gmail or are they independent?
Hey!
Yes correct. However, in your case its going to be more appropriate to sign up to a paid Google Workspace account.
Hi Stewart i noticed that i can send email as the business email i set but i cant receive emails, infact if some send a email to the business email it says to them that the email is inexistent.
you know why?
Hey Leonardo,
That is odd. Did you see our pinned comment?
@@StewartGauld yes i done it that way, infact i can send as business email, but i cant receive the mail other sent to my business email
Great video - I followed the instructions but I can't get past the Authentication failed error even after turning off the less secure apps. I keep getting the same error and I even got a warning email which I confirmed it was me making the attempts.
Hey mate,
Did you reset your password and try again?
@@StewartGauld yes, I even switched gmail accounts 🥺
@@StewartGauld you have to do it quickly enough or it doesn't work
@@jcarlospr Hello was you able to solve your problem, I'm facing the same problem please could you guide me on how can I resolve this issue.
@@shayankhanvlogs9916 yes, I did - basically you need to do the authentication process very quickly because if not it will timeout on you and give an error.
Finally a true hero!
Thanks mate!
Newbie and loving your channel. Thank you so so much ☺️
Very welcome!
Hey it doesn't work anymore, it worked last week. But now got 50 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist. Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or unnecessary spaces.
I type the right accounts and stuff... so why ? any fixes ?
That is odd. I will have to look into this.
@@StewartGauld hey today it works, weird...maybe Google servers got laggy
I'm having the same issue as JC Vazquez. Does this work with a regular gmail account?
Sure does mate. What is your issue?
@@StewartGauld Thanks for your reply. Google keeps blocking my attempt to link the emails.
thank you my brother! :)) awesome tutorial!! i am all set up, thank you very much!!
You're welcome!
Thanks man! You just saved me a ton of money keeping from getting a business email service...
Hey mate!
Welcome!
I love your teaching. Very straightforward and quick. But how do you do it using Android?
Please 🙏🙏🙏👏
Thanks. I will look into this!
Thanks Stewart. This information was great and to the point until I got to the less secure app process. I did not have the option to click on app access in ‘Signing in to Google’. It took me approx an hour to figure it out. I had to turn on the 2 step verification, download and add the authenicator from app store, then the app access appeared in the box. I was then able to go back and enter the information SMTP. Considering that I am IT challenged, I am suprised that I was able to figure it out.
Help please. I’m having the same trouble. Which app did you use?
Did you see our pinned comment for the udate?
That awesome to know you did it another way. Thanks for that.
Hello Stewart, signing in to Google no longer has an option for App password. Is there any other alternative?
Hey Erick,
Did you see our pinned comment?
How can you add this to be able to send emails from an alias on an iPhone email app? I can still only send using my personal email when i try!
Hey Gil,
Unfortunately, you can only use the Gmail app.
@@StewartGauld thank you so much for your help! Really helped! 😀
@@gcastillo7 welcome!
awesome, very thorough! Thank you.
Welcome!
Hi! A year ago I set up a Business account for Free with gmail thanks to your tutorial (thank you so much). Now I am wondering how to authentificate this email in Mailerlite to keep sending marketing emails. I was able to set up SPF correctly but have no clue how to set up DKIM. I was watching your video "How To Set Up Google Workspace SPF, DKIM & DMARC" but it seems that I would need workspace. Is there a way of authentifying this free business account without using workspace? Thank you ☺
Thank you sooooo much this was so easy, I did it step by step with you, almost had issue with the less app secure because I didnt scrolled down´so almost missed it haha But made it through! thank you, you are an angel!.
You're welcome!
Yes same. It was further down the page and I was wondering why I couldn't see it.
I kept thinking my only option for a business email would be to pay for a website domain that was going to be at least $60+/yr. For my purpose a website is unnecessary so I was reluctant to sign up. I came across your video and successfully registered my business emails for a total of $12/yr.
Thank you so much!!
Welcome Ivan! All the best!
Are you emails reaching peoples inbox or going to spam folders?
It worked ! I had to reset my password for it to work. Can I enable 2 step verification and turn off less secure apps after I've completed the process?
Awesome! Yes you can.
@@StewartGauld it no longer works if I turn off the less secure apps. Also will the new Google update coming at the end of May which removes the option of turning on less secure apps affect your hack?
Thanks for sharing! It was a proven method I believe however google has changed its policy and the option to turn off less secure is no longer an option meaning this no longer works I just followed all steps and bought domain to find out it doesn’t work
Hey mate,
Check the pinned comment below. There is a work around.
@@StewartGauld thanks! Needed that info love the consistency 👍🏽
im having the same problem with the less secure no longer being an option, how do i get around the problem?
Hi Stewart I've tried numerous times to complete this process but when I get to the final step I get prompted "incorrect username or password" has anything changed? thanks
I am having the same issue
Try changing your password.
Try changing your password.
Got it finally thanks
But is it then possible to create separate accounts on youtube or other social media with these emailadresses? Seems this could be a problem? Or not. Since it has to be a google account?
Hey Noa,
No not with this email. You will have to use your @gmail.
So I have a domain but I just created another business. I created a normal gmail for the new business. Do I need to purchase another domain or could I just use my new email address under previous domain?
Hey mate,
You can use your current domain. You do not need to buy another.
Hey Stewart, i got everything down to the last step, but it seems whenever i try to send out an email using the business email it does not send whenever i click on "Send" ??
Nevermind! just had to refresh my page.
Awesome!
Hi Stewart, have followed all the steps but having issue with the new pinned advice around less secure apps. I dont have an option to select "app password". I'm stuck - please help! Ross
Hey! Did you see our pinned comment?
@@StewartGauld Hi, Yes. I followed the pinned advice but dont have option to select "app password"
Hi, any update as I still cant finish this off.
Thank you! Between you and Darcy's Business video. I made it somewhere lol
I'm glad!
