Form Setup for Gmail

Here’s how to correctly set up the Form component in Elements to send email using a Gmail account.

Generate a Google App Password

Google no longer allows “less secure app access,” so you’ll need to generate a one-time App Password:

1. Go to your Google Account Security page

2. Make sure 2-Step Verification is enabled

3. Scroll down and click App Passwords

4. Select:

   • App: Mail

   • Device: Other (e.g. Elements)

5. Click Generate, then copy the 16-character password

Use this password (not your regular Gmail login) in the Elements form settings.
