Gmail App Password Security Tip

Protect your real Gmail credentials when connecting AI tools

This guide protects your real Gmail credentials when connecting Gmail to an AI tool or agent, so a security incident on the AI side never exposes your actual email password.

Pre-Connection Security Checklist Prompt

Before I do, walk me through: 1) how to generate a Google App Password instead of using my real password, 2) exactly where to paste it during setup, 3) how to revoke it instantly if anything looks wrong, and 4) any other account I'm connecting today where I should be using an app-specific credential instead of my real password.
