Creating 'App Specific Password' for gmail accounts.

An app specific password allows programs like Field Harmony to send emails on your behalf without giving away you existing / master password. 

This is a good thing as it keeps your account more secure.

You will generate a one time password to your gmail account just for Field Harmony to use.

Here is google's info on it:  https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

 

Before you can enable an 'App Specific Password' you must enable '2-Part Verification' see here: https://fieldharmony.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000461267
