Trying to get gmail to work with Prestashop. Question about set up Advanced:Email

I'm revisiting my problem with sending emails using Gmail.  Seems for a while now the multi authentication required with Gmail has made it difficult to set up Gmail to work with Prestashop.   I recently found an article on Prestashop about setting up Gmail.  (Send emails via SMTP from your Gmail account – PrestaShop).   I followed the directions, and this is where I've run into a problem.    After putting in my Gmail email address, the next field is the password.   I am trying to put in the new password I generated in the Gmail app password screen.     However, after I hit save, the old password gets put back in.   So, my question is: Where is the password kept?  Is this in a database file or would I find it in a file within the code somewhere.   I've cleaned cache, but it still gets the old password instead of the new one I'm hoping will solve my email issues.    

Thank you for any help you folks can provide.

Have you tried on other browser either incognito mode?

Hi,

The password is stored in the DB table "prefix_configuration" under name "PS_MAIL_PASSWD"

Good luck! 😊

It's probably coming from the browser's saved password. Delete the same from the saved browser password.
