Zoho Mail App Specific Password!

When you set up the Zoho Mail app on your device, you're asked to enter a password to access your Zoho Mail account. This password is called an "App Specific Password" or "App Password".

Here's why you need an App Specific Password:

  1. Security: Zoho Mail uses two-factor authentication (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your account. This means that even if someone gets your login credentials, they won't be able to access your account without the App Specific Password.
  2. Separation of concerns: App Specific Passwords help keep your account credentials separate from your device's login credentials. This way, if you lose your device or someone gains access to it, they won't be able to access your Zoho Mail account.

To generate an App Specific Password for your Zoho Mail account:

  1. Log in to your Zoho Mail account on the web.
  2. Click on your profile picture or username in the top right corner, then select "Settings" from the dropdown menu.
  3. Scroll down to the "Security" section and click on "App Specific Passwords".
  4. Click on "Generate" to create a new App Specific Password.
  5. Enter a label for the password (e.g., "Zoho Mail App") and click "Generate".
  6. You'll receive a 16-character password. Make sure to save it securely, as you won't be able to retrieve it later.

Now, when you set up the Zoho Mail app on your device, enter the App Specific Password instead of your regular login credentials. This will ensure that your account remains secure and protected.

Remember to keep your App Specific Password safe and secure, just like you would with your regular login credentials.
