3. From the popup that appears, click on “Choose a method” > Select “App password” > Click “Add”
   
4. On the box that appears, enter in the name as anything you’d like: Eg: UPilot sync
   
5. A password specifically for syncing on UPilot will now be displayed
6. Copy this password that appears
   (Don’t share this password with anyone!)
