Introduction

Using Yahoo for email communication? 

Set up 2-way sync between Vtiger and Yahoo and have all your emails in Vtiger!

 

Vtiger CRM’s 2-way sync functionality allows you to have all your emails in Vtiger so that you don’t have to switch tabs to check emails and use the CRM. 

You must set up 2-way sync in the Inbox module. To learn more about Inbox, click here.
 

Generating a Third-party App Password in Yahoo

Third-party email apps require you to enter a single password for login credentials. To access your Yahoo Mail account on these apps, you'll need to generate and use an app password. 

An app password is a randomly generated code that gives a non-Yahoo app permission to access your Yahoo account. You'll only need to provide this code once to sign in to your 3rd party email app.

To authenticate your Yahoo account in Vtiger, you must generate a third-party app password in Yahoo. 

Follow these steps to generate a third-party app password:

  1. Sign in to your Yahoo Account Security page.
 
  1. Click Generate app password or Generate and manage app passwords.
  2. Click Get Started.
 
  1. Enter your app’s name in the text field.
  2. Click Generate password. A password is generated.
​​​​​​​
 
  1. Copy the one-time password to log in to your third-party app.
  2. Click Done.

Note: You must copy the password immediately after it is generated. If you forget or lose the password, you must generate another one using the process above. 


Deleting an App Password

If you no longer use an app password, you can delete it to keep your account secure. 

Follow these steps to delete an app password:

  1. Sign in to your Yahoo Account Security page.
  2. Click Generate and manage app passwords.
  3. Click Delete next to the app password you want to delete.
  4. Click Delete to confirm.
