Can't find email app password
Hey folks. I wanted to start what I thought would be a trivial task of moving to a new laptop and re-setting up my Outlook mail client to my virgin / ntlworld mail account. Despite numerous guides, having to seemingly setup linked O2 accounts, I still can't find or see where this is done? Why is this so difficult? - when I sign into My virgin their own guides say this: When I go to https://www.virginmedia.com/myvmo2/home it just stays on "signing in" from my old and new laptop. I can get to it via my phone browser (god knows why) and I go to Account settings - I see Virgin Media mail settings. But when in that section nothing about app passwords. Ideally I'd just like to see my existing one, but failing that how do I find where to create one? Thanks in advance.Creating an app password for a secondary account.
Hello, I have a blueyonder email address and want to set it up on my new phone on the Outlook app. I cannot see a way of accessing the app password with the new O2 sign in system. My account is a secondary account - my father is the main account holder. I can log into "my virgin media" on my laptop. I click account settings, then virgin media mail settings. This takes me through to my Virgin Media O2 ID settings. When I click manage linked accounts, there is no option to change my app password, instead, it only says "add your virgin media account". If I go through this process, it attempts to transfer the main account to me, rather than adding my secondary account. If we log into the main account, it only lets you change the app password of the main email address, rather than any of the secondary email addresses. Any assistance would be gratefully received!Trying to get email notifications from my NAS device.
I have been trying for several days now to get the email notifications working on my NAS LinkStation LS220DE but with no luck. The response from "Send Test Email" is always "Because of an error, the following process did not complete：Sending test email notification". I have tried every combination of settings that seems remotely plausible on the LinkStation settings. On the router I have tried to remove any obstacle: The firewall has been disabled, port forwarding been allowed for any plausible ports and even the DMZ enabled for the Linkstation address. None of these has changed the "Because of an error, Blah, Blah, Blah." My IP address does not appear on any blacklist. I have checked that the app password for gmail is good by using a Windows command:- curl -v smtps://smtp.gmail.com -u MMMMMMM@gmail.com:PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP Replacing MM... and PPP... with my username and password. This gave the result * Connection #0 to host smtp.gmail.com left intact showing that the username and app password were O.K. I have tried my Office365 email account with the same result. Neither the LinkStation nor my Router have any form of syslog. The Linkstation does not produce any kind or error code, and I can't afford a fiber-optic packet sniffer, so I am at a bit of a loss. I have contacted my ISP (Virgin Media) but got only what long experiance has led me to expect: Wasted hours and wasted phone calls with people who do not know what a NAS is, who defaulted to thinking I was talking about a mobile phone, and who repeatedly tried to get me to take out a more expensive subscription.

Mike SimpsonVM app passwords don't work
Hi All, I have a problem with the Virgin Media-generated app passwords. My account stopped working yesterday, I changed my password and generated a new app password, which, however, did not work in my Outlook and iPhone Mail app. I repeated the procedure several times, and none of the subsequent app passwords generated through my VM account worked. I have access to my webmail, but can't use Outlook or iPhone Mail. I contacted the help desk via webchat this morning, I was told that all is well on their side, and I should contact Gadget Rescue for help (for a charge). I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to resolve this problem. Thank you for reading this.I'm unable to reset the password of my ntlworld email address
I was asked to generate a new App password when trying to access my ntlworld email address via the android app. I completed this process and undated the new generated password into my App server settings. This appeared to work and I can still send and receive emails via the android app on my phone. Unfortunately I'm now unable to access my ntlworld emails via any Web browser. It does recognise the email address or password. So I've tried to use the "reset password" on my ntlworld email address but it does not appear to recognise my email address. My main virgin media account is on a different email address which I don't use for email. If I entered my main VM account email address I'm worried it will reset that password rather than my email ntlworld address. Any help greatly apricated Karl
