Connect Gmail

Gmail signs in on Google's own page, so Alrighty never sees your Google password.

Steps

1. Start in Alrighty

Choose Gmail and click Continue. Your browser opens on Google's sign-in page. Add an account shows where to start if you already have one account.

2. Choose your account

Pick the Google account you want to add, or click Use another account and sign in.

3. Confirm the sign-in

Google shows the address Alrighty will see. Click Continue.

4. Allow access to Gmail

Tick the box next to Read, compose, and send emails from your Gmail account, then click Continue. Alrighty needs this to show and send your mail.

5. Come back to Alrighty

The browser says You're all set. Go back to Alrighty. Alrighty adds the account, and your mail starts arriving.

Use an app password instead

If you'd rather not sign in through the browser, use an app password:

1. Turn on 2-Step Verification for your Google account.
2. Create an app password at myaccount.google.com/apppasswords.
3. In Alrighty, click Use an app password under the provider list. Enter your address and the app password.
