How to configure email accounts

Email providers frequently update their security settings. For instance, in 2022, Yandex modified how email is accessed through the SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols. Similarly, Google has updated its security requirements, resulting in changes to email setup.

As a result, the account password can no longer be used for email connections in the 1C:FirstBit app. To configure the email account, the user must make additional adjustments on their email server.

2) Enable two-factor authorization in your Google account settings;

3) then go to the link https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and generate a password for 1C:FirstBit application - the password will be shown to you only once, it should be memorized (copied and saved) and then used when setting up email account in 1C system.

2) enable application password settings on your account on Yandex and generate an additional password, which should be specified in the settings in the application for exchange (for example, on your phone or in the 1c program) - it is not the same password with which we usually enter the mail in the browser).
