Generate an App-specific Password
What is TFA (Two factor Authentication)?
TFA adds a layer of security for your email account as your email and password is not enough for you to login. An unique code will be sent to the registered mobile number and you will be granted access upon submitting the verification code.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled for your email account, then you must generate the app-specific password for configuring your email with Bigin and not your regular password.
