Creating an App Password  
 

What is an app password?  

An app password is a code that acts as a temporary password, that gives an app or device permission to your Prosperity Now account. It will only be used once, and you will not need to memorize it. App passwords are used for older apps or third-party clients that do not support two-step verification. A few examples would be any iOS email app (Apple) or Android email apps. The purpose of an app password is to enable Multi-factor authentication (MFA), which provides an additional layer of security for your work account.
