    Hi @naidu1811 ,

     

    If for your gmail if Two factor authentication exist. You need to follow below steps.

     

    If you have 2FA enabled on your Gmail account, you'll need to generate an App Password specifically for Power Automate Desktop. Here's how:
    Go to your Google Account security settings: https://myaccount.google.com/intro/security
    Under "App Passwords," select "Mail" and "Other (Custom name)."
    Give the app password a descriptive name like "Power Automate Desktop."
    Copy the generated password and use it in Power Automate Desktop instead of your regular Gmail password.
