Third-party app password

CONTENTS

This function is only available for the Advanced plan.

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.

From February 16, 2023, LINE WORKS will only allow you to log in to a third-party app with a third-party app password to prevent account hijacking.

Create a third-party password

To use a third-party app password, you must create a password to log in to the third-party app.

PC Web

  1. Click your profile picture on the top right.
  2. Select 'Security' from the menu.
  3. Click 'Create a third-party app password'.
  4. Click 'Create new password'.
  5. Enter the name of the third-party app you want to log in to and click 'Create password'.
  6. Copy the generated password and enter it in the password input field of the third-party app to log in.

You can create up to 5 third-party app passwords.

Once you create a password, you can use it multiple times. However, we recommend that you do not reuse it to prevent account hijacking.

You will be notified by message when you create a third-party app password. If it is not a third-party app password you created yourself, we recommend that you delete the password that was created immediately and change the LINE WORKS password.
