## Troubleshooting
### Gmail
Instead of using your normal Google password, use an App password.
1. [Enable 2-Step Verification.](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid).
This is needed to create an App password.
2. [Create an App password](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en) for `Mail`.
### Unauthenticated login (username/password fields)
The parameters `username` and `password` are set as optional to support self-hosted runners access to on-premise infrastructure. If
you are accessing public email servers make sure you provide a username/password authentication through [GitHub Secrets](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets) to make the email delivery secure.
