Generating SMTP Credentials

Use the Console to generate SMTP credentials.

  1. View the user's details:
    • If you're generating SMTP credentials for yourself: Select the Profile menu (Profile menu icon), which is on the upper-right side of the navigation bar at the top of the page, and then select User Settings, or your account name.
    • If you're an administrator generating SMTP credentials for another user: Open the navigation menu  and select Identity & Security. Under Identity, select Domains. Open the navigation menu  and select Identity & Security. Under Identity, select Users. Locate the user in the list, and then click the user's name to view the details.
  2. Under Resources, click SMTP credentials.

  3. Click Generate credentials.

  4. Enter a Description of the SMTP credentials in the dialog box.
  5. Click Generate credentials. A user name and password are displayed.

    Click Copy to copy the password immediately, because you can't retrieve it again after closing the dialog box, for security reasons.

    If you're an administrator generating SMTP credentials for another user, you need to securely deliver them to the user by providing them verbally, printing them out, or sending them through a secure email service.

  6. When you are finished, click Close.
