# ASP.NET 6 Emailing with Minimal APIs

Sending Emails in ASP.NET 6 & Minimal apis Apps using Gmail smtp

To successfuly start the project we have to follow the following steps:

### Enable 2 Step-Verification : (skip this part if you already have 2FA enabled)

Go to https://myaccount.google.com/security

- Then under the “Signing in to Google” section, we can see that 2-Step Verification is off – so we have to click on it

- Click Get Started, provide your password, and confirm the code by providing a mobile number

- If everything goes well, you should see the Turn On option, so just click on it

### Add app password :

Under 2Step-Verification, You should see App Passwords

- Click on it

- Provide a password

- Click the Select app menu and choose the Other (Custom Name) option

- Now, all we have to do is to provide any name we like for our app and click the Generate button

- Copy the generated password and then paste it in ```EmailConfiguration:Password``` in ```appsettings.json``` in our **ASP.NET Project**

- Type your email in ```EmailConfiguration:From``` and ```EmailConfiguration:Username``` in ```appsettings.json```
