You can use the third-party app password to log in to third-party apps such as CalDAV, IMAP, SMTP, POP3, etc. with your LINE WORKS account.
The third-party app password is generated by a random combination of alphabets and numbers. You can safely protect your LINE WORKS account if you log in to the third-party app with the third-party app password.
However, domains created after October 13, 2022 can only log in to a third-party app with a third-party app password to prevent LINE WORKS account hijacking.
For domains created before October 13, 2022, members can choose whether to use a third-party app password.
Enable third-party app passwords
Members can choose whether or not to use a third-party app password only for domains created before October 13, 2022.
If you enable a third-party app password, you can log in to third-party apps only with the app password from the next login.
If you change whether to use a third-party app password, you may be logged out of a third-party app that you have previously logged in to.
