Connecting HP Printer with G-M-A-I-L

[commander_sushi]

In the past, to support HP printer emailing from **bleep**, I was able to follow the instructions here : https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05519493 . However, the less secure option of connecting to G-M-A-I-L has been discontinued and the setting now no longer exists. Have people found a solution to this?

Welcome to the HP User Community.

The solution is to acquiesce to Google and use what Google supports:

2-Step Verification ON > Create and use an App Password

You can also try using a not-Google email address - it is perhaps the case that not "everyone" has closed the door on Less Secure application types.

This video will quickly show you how to set up scan to email with an HP printer with G-mail AND keep the 2-Step verification security feature. App Passwords

Set up Scan to Email HP Printer with 2 Step Verification on **bleep** and Google

Steps

Log into your Google Account

Open your Google Security Webpage

Next, if not done, Switch ON 2-step verification

Turn on 2-Step Verification

Next, Complete the steps to open your mail security settings

Sign in with App Passwords

and

Create / Select app and (then) create your app password

• At the bottom, choose Select app and choose the app you using > Select device and choose the device you’re using > Generate.
• Follow the instructions to enter the App Password. The App Password is the 16-character code in the yellow bar on your device.
• Tap Done.

Tip: Most of the time, you’ll only have to enter an App Password once per app or device, so don’t worry about memorizing it.

Assign / set that new App Password in your Scan to Email profile as the password.
