Step 2: Click "Security" in the left menu

Step 3: Scroll down to "App passwords" (visible only if 2FA is enabled)

Step 4: Select "Mail" and "Windows Computer" (or your device)

Step 5: Google will generate a 16-character password. Use this in EmailJS.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my EmailJS Public Key?

Log into your EmailJS account, click on your profile icon in the top-right, select "Account", then go to "API Keys" tab. Your Public Key will be displayed there. Copy the entire key and paste it in the form above.

What's the difference between Service ID and Template ID?

The Service ID identifies which email service to use (e.g., Gmail). The Template ID identifies which email template to use for formatting the message. Both are necessary for EmailJS to work correctly.

How many emails can I send per month with the free plan?

EmailJS free plan allows 200 emails per month. If you need more, you can upgrade to a paid plan. The form submissions from your website will count toward this limit.

What if my emails are going to spam?

Make sure your email template has a proper subject line and is formatted correctly. Check your Gmail spam folder first. If emails are consistently going to spam, ensure your Gmail account is properly authenticated in EmailJS and consider using a custom domain email address.

Is my Public Key secure? Can I share it?

Yes, your Public Key is safe to share and put in frontend code. It's designed to be public. However, NEVER share your Private Key. Keep your Private Key confidential - it's only needed for backend operations.

How do I test if the configuration is working?

Click the "Test Configuration" button above. It will attempt to send a test email to verify your settings are correct. You should receive a test message at your configured Gmail address.
