Two Factor Authentication:

If your email provider has Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled, you will need to use an app password to authenticate instead of the usual password for accessing the email account.  Instructions for creating app passwords vary by provider but the most common are Microsoft 365 and Google.

 

Microsoft 365 – Manage App Passwords

 

Google – Sign in With App Passwords

 

After the app password is created, you will enter the app password in the password field in Advantage instead of the regular email password.
