Many customers use Gmail when setting up email notifications in the Traxbean electronic monitoring system, as it is a widely used email service globally.

They typically enter smtp.gmail.com along with their username and password in the settings, but this often results in errors.

Many customers are puzzled because their username and password are correct, but they are unable to send emails.

This issue is related to the security measures of Gmail and most email systems.

When you use your account as an SMTP, your username and password are exposed.

If someone else uses these credentials to log into your email, your personal information and business secrets may be compromised.

Therefore, Gmail and other service providers have adopted a more secure approach, which is to use App Passwords to allow users to access SMTP services.

This article will explain how to set it up.

After logging into your Gmail account, click on the icon in the top right corner of the browser and then select the "Manage your Google Account" button as shown in the image on the right.

Set up two-step verification.

Before setting up an app-specific password, Google will ask you to enable two-step verification.

This is to enhance the overall security of your account before granting certain special permissions and services.

This step is required.

The tutorial or AI suggestions you find online for setting up Gmail SMTP usually indicate that you can find the 'App Passwords' submenu under the 'Security' menu.

However, if you can't find it, you can search for 'App Passwords' in the search box on the same page to find this entry point.

Electronic monitoring systems can not only track the location of individuals, but also monitor the locations and distances of multiple people.

For example, in cases of domestic violence, a judge may order the abusive husband to stay away from his wife and children.

When they are too close, the system will trigger an alarm, notifying the relevant victims and police as a warning mechanism.

App passwords are typically 16 characters long, consisting of letters and numbers.

Once copied, you can use it in your SMTP settings.

Of course, this password can also be used for other services.

After completing all the steps, you can set up your SMTP service in the Traxbean electronic monitoring system.

After configuration is complete, be sure to test it to see if it is working properly.
