    I’m a bit confused by the GD instructions for this. When I login to Google and go to the suggested page https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en

    How do I get my site to show up in the list of apps or websites? When I go to the apps password page I have none to choose from. Do I need to enable two-step verification or…???

    TIA

    1. https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords
    2. Select App > Other (customised name)
    3. Enter something like “analytics for Purple Edge”
    4. Click Generate
    5. Copy and paste the 16 characters password at GD > General > Google Analytics > Google analytics password for api?

    Thanks Guust,

    That link takes me to https://www.google.com/settings/security

    See image, I think I have to do something else to enable app passwords, but I don’t know what?

    If I click on View All I get the screen I posted previously.

    OK, I got there 🙂

    I needed to enable two step verification, then the process of generating an app password becomes available.

    Just to be clear, when configuring GD GA access for the value in…

    Google analytics username for api?

    …do I use my normal Google api username (email address) or do I use the newly created name e.g. “analytics for Purple Edge”

    Thanks
