Setting up Scan to e-Mail on HP M480f printer

  1. I have a HP M480f that I am trying to setup 'scan to email'. I have set an app specific password in Apple but to no avail. I try logging in with my apple username i.e. 'name@mac.com' and the 'app specific password'. but receive the error "Invalid User Name or Password. Verify the information and retry." I have set the port to 587 and selected SSL/TLS in the HP configuration. see snip below:
  2. Can anyone point me to where I've gone astray?
  3. I don't receive any 2FA on my phone...just login credentials not accepted.


Thanks in advance

I have followed this to the letter, spent several days and searching. Seems to be an issue that most SMTP servers now require Two Factor Authentication. I found for Gmail, there is the ability to set lesser security on app specific password, but this doesn't seem possible on iCloud.

When I try to validate the login (and password) it fails with the error. I have changed the user name for the snip below; however this is the error.

I appreciate your help and comments very much. Just Stumped at the moment.


Note: If I was an enterprise with my own domain and registered SMTP server, the instructions would work ok (without 2FA), but for home office this is not possible.


Thanks again,
