iPhoto email problem

[rpearlberg]

I'm trying to email photos from iPhoto and it keeps telling me it doesn't recognize my email/password combo and I know it's the right password. For now I deleted the email address so there is not one in there. How can I add my Gmail to iPhoto??

Is your Gmail set up in Mail? If so, just change iPhoto>Preferences>General>Email photos using: to "Mail".

No I haven't been using Apples Mail, just gmail webpage.

 

[BrianBaughn]

Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
User Name: your email address
Password: your password
Use SSL checked

still getting the same message...can't recognize the email/password combination.

Triple check that password in another browser.

Also...Google Two-Step Authentication enabled?

Thanks. The 2-step authentication is not enabled on my gmail, should it be?
