I don't want to contribute to a thread where we might be seen as bashing another list, but I'm hoping this list is and becomes more than just a good list for new Android users. I'm still relatively new, but I definitely want to read about and hopefully contribute to some advanced topics as well. I left the other list because I couldn't keep up with the off topic messages, there was too much chaff and not enough wheat, so I'm hoping this list will fill the void with good and plentiful information on Android.

hmm. I didn't mention your name and was agreeing with the viewpoint expressed about that other unmoderated list in the post I replied to. I'm sorry if you took that personally. The point of my post was to express how good and safe this list is when compared to that other oneand to thank the owner/mod for such a great job and list. Like I said, without this list, I wouldn't have a place to send Android newbys.

I will give you a ccarrot stick peace offering let's just start all over helping each other. I don't want to argue with you. But I am trying to assist people who need my help who are new bees with android. I am not going to be bothered with any of that stuf that went on the other list. I will just keep a professional approach to the list as this one is moderated . One wrong move you get booted off the list. -----Original Message----- From: vi-android-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vi-android-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Laz Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 2:23 PM To: vi-android@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vi-android] Re: re has any one setu two factor authentication on aqua mail Agree with the position about that other unmoderated list. I haven't seen flaming, personal attacks, or even anyone's life being threatened here unlike recently on that other list. This is a good safe list to send new folks to Android for help, even if they came from iOS. Also, no cliques here treating others as outsiders or anyone claiming to be an expert and treating others like peons. Just a very good list which offers very good help to all members without any of the extraneous drama. My thanks to the owner/mod! Without this list, I wouldn't have a place to send newbys!

For specific application like aqua mail that does not work with 2 step factor authentication , what you have to do is give the application an app specific pass word which can be generated in place of the 2 step factor on Google site. I found this out by googling. I just set up my outlook with this method and now off to set up aqua mail and any other third party application which require it. if you would like I can give a step by step description on how its done when I am done setting up aqua mail. If you would like. I am heer to help out the list unlike the other list which I did not get treated well for my expertise with android. Also I am working with a lot of big developers to get application accessible. so stay tuned and when I hav more to share I will be back to share. But I will be on the list and not leaving this one as this is a nice inteluctul bunch of people who do care for one another and are not hostile towards one another. -----Original Message----- From: vi-android-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vi-android-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Quentin Christensen Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 3:03 AM To: vi-android@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vi-android] Re: re has any one setu two factor authentication on aqua mail Hi Gary, From memory, as I also have two factor authentication setup but haven't actually setup aqua mail for awhile, what you do with apps like Aqua mail, is give them their own unique password in your Googlesettings.You can either do this with the Google authentication app (called something like that, I haven't actually used it), or from a browser. If you go to google and make sure you are logged in and then go to your account settings and security and then 'app passwords'. The link is here but may not work directly: https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords?pli=1 You can then go to "select app" dropdown list on "select device" dropdown list and generate a password button. That's changed since I last used it - last time I used it, it generated a 16 character string which you only saw once and had to copy into whatever app you wantedmanually.The app then has access to your google account using that 'password' until you come back to this page and revoke it. One thing I've never tried, is to figure out whether you could copy that password and use it to get into your account from something else (eg create a password like that for aqua mail and then try to use it as your login password through a browser)... Either way, it's best to keep this list of apps as short as possible and cull any you no longer need as you can. Regards Quentin.

I wanted to try out 2 factor authentication with aqua mail, as I got it working on my computer with gmail. With gmail the 2 factor authentication works well for security purposes as going forward everything with Google will be encrypted so I need to get an understanding of all this. I tried with aqua mail and it is not working any clues why 2 factor authentication wont workwith aqua mail. ________________________________ <http://www.avast.com/> This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
