 * Hello
 * I’d be grateful for some advice please.
 * I’ve followed your instructions for setting up with Gmail to the letter, but 
   Google won’t approve the OATH Verification process as they’ve emailed me asking
   for a ‘test account email and password’ and YouTube Video !!

 * I’m baffled by this, so was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and
   knows of a solution please.
 * Regards, Ash

 * Hi,
 * That’s actually the first time I see this email.
    Most likely, you’ve selected
   something wrong when creating a project. The only thing that I recommend for 
   now – please try again to closely follow [our tutorial here](https://wpforms.com/how-to-securely-send-wordpress-emails-using-gmail-smtp/).
   You will need to start from scratch and create a new project.
