Why do I need a 16-letter app-specific password for Sleek?

To link your Gmail account to other platforms, you can either use the “sign-up with Google” prompt or using an app-specific password. The app-specific password grants us the permission to sync your Gmail account with Sleek. Both steps are secured to do so.

  1. Go to Google
  2. Select the app and device for which you want to generate the app password.
  3. Select App > Mail
  4. Select device > Pick your device
  5. Click on generate
  6. Copy the 16-letter password and paste it during sign-up

What is IMAP & how do I enable it?

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol, and it's the open standard that describes how to access messages in an email mailbox.

To enable IMAP:

  1. Go to your Gmail settings.
  2. Scroll to the IMAP access section, and click on the Enable IMAP radio button.
  3. Click save changes

What is the 2-step authentication & how do I enable it?

2-Step Verification (also known as two-factor authentication), is a way to add an extra layer of security to your account in case your password and log in details get stolen. The 2-step verification also lets you add devices and applications where you want to link your Google account.

After you set up 2-Step Verification, you’ll sign in to your account with two steps using:

  • Something you know, like your password
  • Something you have, like your phone
