How to use Gmail

To send emails via Gmail account from Lan Controller, you need to use the App Passwords, regardless of whether two-step verification is enabled or not.

Sign in to your Google account and then go to Security tab.

Google - 2-Step Verification and App passwords

In the Signing in to Google section, select App passwords. Then select the application and device in the form, e.g. select Other in the device field and enter Email on LK4. After pressing the Generate button under the form, a new window will appear with the generated password, which should be copied and pasted into the Password field in the Email tab on LK4 (other settings are similar like on the first picture on this page). After saving the settings, sending e-mails can be tested.
