How do I set up a gmail account with Bridge-IT?

Answer:

To use a gmail account within the Bridge-IT program follow these steps:

• First, manage your gmail account by going to "Manage your Google Account".
• Select "Security" on the left of the screen and make sure 2 Step verification is turned on in your account. This will make your google account far more secure.

• Once 2 step verification is turned on, go back to "Security", search for the term "App Passwords" and select that option.
  

• Enter the name "Bridge-IT" for the app password.
  

   

• Make a note of the unique app password that is generated. You will need to enter this into the Bridge-IT program.

   

• Go to "File/Practice Settings" in the top left menu, select the "E-Mail" tab and set the fields to the settings below, using your own account name, and then enter your app password into the "App Password for 2 Factor Authentication" box.

 

 

You should now be able to send e-mails from Bridge-IT using your gmail account.
