Unable to add google account for contacts
I’ve just recently switched to iPhone 15Pro. Now my Google contacts don’t sync. When i add google account from Settings ->Add account just doesn’t react. How do I fix this issue?
It's crucial to emphasize that when you enable 2-step verification for your Outlook (Hotmail) account, you need to utilize a specially generated app password from Microsoft to access the same account through the iOS mail app. --> Manage app passwords for two-step verification
Using an app password is essential if you enabled two-step verification for your Outlook (Hotmail) account. Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security by requiring a code from your phone or authenticator app in addition to your password when signing in. Regular passwords won't work with apps that don't support two-step verification, which is why Microsoft created app passwords. Just generate an app password for your iPhone's mail app and you'll be good to go!
Here are some additional points you might find helpful:
- You can generate app passwords through your Microsoft account security settings.
- App passwords are unique and only work for the specific app they're created for.
- Consider creating strong and unique passwords for your Microsoft account and other online accounts.
This applies to Google, Yahoo and Aol too.
