Buy nowI'll outline below how to fix issues when you encounter an incorrect password when sending emails to your customers, Karen.
Before we start, ensure that your QuickBooks Desktop is updated to the latest release. Then, email a test transaction to yourself to check if the error persists.
If you still get the same error, access your online email service. Review your settings and filter preferences, as they may be blocking your QuickBooks emails unintentionally from coming through.
The steps to resolve the issue may vary depending on the specific email service that you are using.
If you're using Gmail, review the app preferences:
For Yahoo! Mail, review the security settings:
If you still can't send emails, consider using Yahoo's third-party app passwords tool, which generates a random password for connecting QuickBooks. This process only needs to be completed once.
Please know that the password will expire after sending 12 invoices or transactions if you're batch-sending emails. You'll need to generate a new third-party app password to continue.
Additionally, for other email services such as Hotmail and AOL, review the security and filter settings and create exceptions or rules to prevent QuickBooks from being blocked.
Once done, check your antivirus settings and refer to Step 3 in this article for more detailed information: Fix webmail password issues in QuickBooks Desktop.
