Important
If you use an email with two-factor authentication, grant access permissions to NAKIVO Backup & Replication via your account security settings and generate a unique password. As an example, use instructions for Google accounts provided in the Create & use App Passwords article. When configuring email setting of the product, enter this password in the SMTP password box.

To set email settings, fill out the fields in the Email settings section:
- SMTP server: The address of the server responsible for sending emails.
- SMTP username: The username on the server (usually the same as the email username).
- SMTP password: Usually the same as the password to your email.
- SMTP port: Depends on encryption type.
- Encryption: Select the type of encryption:
  - None: Always use a plaintext connection. Not recommended.
  - TLS, if possible: Start with plaintext, then use STARTTLS to switch to secure connection if supported by the server.
  - TLS, required: Start with plaintext, then use STARTTLS to switch to secure connection; drop the connection if not supported by the server.
  - SSL, required: Use the SSL-encrypted connection.
- From: Specify the sender email address
- To: Specify the receiver email address
Click Send Test Email to verify that the settings are correct.
