Steps to Create an App-Specific Password in Zoho

1. Log in to your Zoho Account

   • Go to
     accounts.zoho.com
     and sign in with your Zoho credentials.

2. Access Security Settings

   • Click on your profile picture (top right).

   • Choose My Account.

   • In the left menu, select Security.

3. Go to App Passwords

   • Under Security, look for App Passwords (sometimes under the section Multi-Factor Authentication or 2FA).

4. Generate a New Password

   • Click Generate New Password.

   • Enter a label/name for the app (e.g., “Outlook Mail”, “3CX PBX”, “Thunderbird”).

   • Click Generate.

5. Copy the Password

   • Zoho will generate a unique 16-character password.

   • Copy it immediately — Zoho will only show it once.

   • Use this password in the external application instead of your regular Zoho password.

6. Manage App Passwords

   • You can view, revoke, or regenerate app-specific passwords anytime from the same App Passwords section.

⚠️ Notes

• App-specific passwords work only if Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is enabled on your Zoho account.

• Each app should ideally have its own app-specific password for security and easier management.

• If you revoke an app password, the connected application will stop working until you generate a new one.
