Ensure that two-step verification is Active.
Step 2: Create an app password for Waalaxy
Once two-step verification is enabled, create an app password for Waalaxy:

For professional accounts, ensure IMAP access is enabled and allow less secure apps:

In IMAP Access, select Enable IMAP.
Save changes.
And that’s it! Your Gmail account is now configured, secure, and ready to use in Waalaxy! 🚀
