MAIL ERRORS

To anyone who has any problem with mail "verifying account" or "incorrect passwords", this is how to solve your problem.


This is not some error on the server or your iPhone issue, this is a mail security feature.

This is caused ewhen you have "two-step verification" enabled.


Whether its hotmail or Gmail, this is the same issue, but this is the specific way to solve it for hotmail.

It applies to Gmail, but I do not know the specific instructions for the run of this tuturial.


Firstly, log into your account.

Go to account settings,

Go to Overview,

Go to security info,

Select edit security info,

-Here you have 2 options-


OPTION 1

Where it says App passwords, click create new password,

The password that displays is your account password on your app, not your actual hotmail password.

This must be done for each device.


OPTION 2

Select "turn off two-step verification"


You are now done.


Please rate how helpful this was to you all.


Thanks
