WEBVTT 00:00.080 --> 00:03.890 The very first thing we will do is to create a new Gmail account. 00:03.890 --> 00:09.170 So we have a dedicated email address we can use to send emails from the Raspberry Pi. 00:09.260 --> 00:09.440 Okay. 00:09.440 --> 00:12.350 So this email address will be the sender email. 00:12.350 --> 00:15.710 And here maybe you think you could use your personal email address. 00:15.710 --> 00:16.280 That would work. 00:16.310 --> 00:16.550 Yes. 00:16.550 --> 00:19.130 But for security reasons I would recommend not to do that. 00:19.130 --> 00:24.680 And it's also going to be much easier to manage things with a dedicated email address. 00:24.680 --> 00:28.190 So what you can do is open a web browser. 00:28.190 --> 00:30.290 You can do that from the Raspberry Pi directly. 00:30.290 --> 00:32.090 As you can see, that's what I did here. 00:32.120 --> 00:38.150 But you can just open any web browser from any operating system is the same and just go to google.com. 00:38.150 --> 00:41.990 And here you can just click on sign in for example. 00:42.200 --> 00:45.440 And because well, I'm signed out of this account. 00:45.440 --> 00:47.000 But let's say that we create a new account. 00:47.000 --> 00:51.920 So you can here you can click on Create account. 00:51.920 --> 00:56.000 So you should see something like that for example for personal use. 00:56.000 --> 00:59.180 And well for example you can name it Raspberry Pi. 00:59.180 --> 01:01.340 Verify you can choose the name you want here. 01:01.370 --> 01:02.270 Doesn't matter. 01:02.300 --> 01:03.440 Click on next. 01:04.010 --> 01:10.790 Then you make sure that you give a birthdate as well, at least 18 years old. 01:10.940 --> 01:15.770 So for example, whatever, just choose whatever. 01:16.460 --> 01:17.360 Next. 01:18.200 --> 01:19.490 Um, okay. 01:21.260 --> 01:22.070 And here. 01:22.070 --> 01:26.240 Well, if they ask you this question, you're going to create a Gmail address. 01:26.240 --> 01:28.790 That's the one we want to use with the Google account. 01:28.880 --> 01:30.020 Click on next. 01:30.410 --> 01:32.750 So you choose an email address. 01:32.750 --> 01:36.980 So the one I'm going to use for example is course dot Raspberry Pi. 01:37.010 --> 01:38.540 So this one is already taken. 01:38.540 --> 01:40.400 That's the one I created. 01:40.520 --> 01:41.780 Just to give you an inspiration. 01:41.780 --> 01:43.460 If you want to create something similar. 01:43.460 --> 01:45.410 So you create an email address here. 01:45.410 --> 01:46.340 You click on next. 01:46.340 --> 01:48.500 Then they're going to ask you for a password. 01:48.530 --> 01:50.360 You finish the configuration okay. 01:50.390 --> 01:52.730 Maybe you need to validate your account with a phone number. 01:52.730 --> 01:53.720 So you do that. 01:53.900 --> 01:58.040 You may also want to add a recovery email a recovery phone. 01:58.070 --> 02:01.130 Well, you can just configure your account and I'm going to come back to this. 02:01.130 --> 02:05.270 But it's also important that you activate the two step verification. 02:05.270 --> 02:08.900 So if Google asks you do you want to do the two step verification. 02:08.900 --> 02:09.500 You click on. 02:09.530 --> 02:09.770 Yes. 02:09.770 --> 02:13.280 Because that's going to be a mandatory step for the following. 02:13.310 --> 02:13.670 All right. 02:13.670 --> 02:19.040 And once you have created the account you just log in and let's do the configuration so that we can 02:19.070 --> 02:21.110 send emails from the Raspberry Pi. 02:22.250 --> 02:24.440 And once you are connected. 02:24.440 --> 02:27.200 So here I'm back to the Google page. 02:27.200 --> 02:31.190 You can you can just click on your account go to settings. 02:31.310 --> 02:32.990 And there are different ways to do that. 02:32.990 --> 02:38.180 So here I click on those dots I click on my account and I go to the account settings. 02:38.180 --> 02:43.400 And to be able to send an email from the Raspberry Pi, we will need to create what's called an app 02:43.400 --> 02:44.240 password. 02:44.270 --> 02:44.540 Okay. 02:44.570 --> 02:46.910 So that you can use the email address here. 02:46.910 --> 02:50.060 This email address was created from an external application. 02:50.090 --> 02:52.970 And external application is going to be our Python script. 02:52.970 --> 02:56.780 And before we do this where you go to security here. 02:56.780 --> 03:00.320 And you have a two step verification. 03:00.320 --> 03:01.790 So you see for me it's. 03:01.820 --> 03:02.510 Activated. 03:02.510 --> 03:05.990 So make sure that you activate the two step verification here. 03:05.990 --> 03:09.110 That's going to be mandatory for what we need to do right now. 03:09.140 --> 03:11.690 And so how to create an app password. 03:11.690 --> 03:18.110 So the thing is this Google menu, this Google account menu and all the whole interface is changing 03:18.110 --> 03:19.280 quite frequently. 03:19.280 --> 03:23.060 So somehow recently they removed the link to the app password. 03:23.060 --> 03:25.340 So you cannot really find it from anywhere. 03:25.340 --> 03:33.560 So what you have to do is to go on this search bar here and type exactly app space passwords with an 03:33.560 --> 03:34.310 S. 03:34.910 --> 03:37.370 And you see we have the app passwords here. 03:37.700 --> 03:41.180 You type this, you click here and you will get two. 03:41.780 --> 03:43.850 All right we need to verify the phone first. 03:43.850 --> 03:46.550 So I'm going to do that okay. 03:46.550 --> 03:48.590 So I have verified my phone again. 03:48.590 --> 03:52.010 And you will get to this app passwords page. 03:52.040 --> 03:58.640 And you can see the URL is my myaccount.google.com slash app passwords. 03:58.670 --> 03:59.930 The rest doesn't matter. 03:59.930 --> 04:04.160 You can just type this exactly, and you should also get to this menu. 04:04.160 --> 04:09.830 So to send an email from the Raspberry Pi we will use the the well the email address we have created 04:09.830 --> 04:11.480 here and also a password. 04:11.480 --> 04:14.570 But that's not going to be the password of the Google account. 04:14.600 --> 04:16.820 That's going to be an app password that we create here. 04:16.820 --> 04:21.530 So for example you can let's do a test create. 04:22.130 --> 04:25.670 And you see we have a new generated app password. 04:25.670 --> 04:29.240 So this is the password that you can use in your code. 04:29.270 --> 04:30.770 Now I can click on done. 04:30.770 --> 04:32.870 And you can see I have my app password. 04:32.870 --> 04:38.720 The thing is if you didn't note this, if you didn't copy this password somewhere and if you don't remember 04:38.750 --> 04:42.230 it well, you cannot get it again, that's not the problem. 04:42.230 --> 04:43.310 You just create a new one. 04:43.340 --> 04:43.550 Okay. 04:43.580 --> 04:45.230 You can remove that one as well. 04:45.230 --> 04:47.150 So that's really not a problem. 04:47.150 --> 04:53.540 So let's create one for example Raspberry Pi email okay I create one. 04:53.990 --> 04:58.340 And what I'm going to do right now is to save this inside a file. 04:58.340 --> 05:01.580 So I could use the graphical interface, but let's use the terminal. 05:01.610 --> 05:02.060 Okay. 05:02.090 --> 05:04.940 Since we know how to use it, you open a terminal. 05:04.970 --> 05:07.220 I am in my home directory. 05:07.250 --> 05:10.010 Make sure that its home directory with CD. 05:10.160 --> 05:14.480 And then well, we're going to properly store the password later on in this section. 05:14.480 --> 05:21.170 But for now let's just create a file with nano and let's name it temp okay. 05:21.200 --> 05:22.220 For temporary file. 05:22.250 --> 05:28.160 Usually I do this if I know I'm going to use a file just for temporary moment, I name it temp for example. 05:28.160 --> 05:29.390 It doesn't really matter. 05:29.930 --> 05:32.870 And we are going to copy this. 05:32.870 --> 05:41.090 So I'm going to select control C and then how to actually paste how to copy and paste something from 05:41.090 --> 05:41.750 the terminal. 05:41.780 --> 05:45.470 Because if you do Ctrl V or Ctrl C it's not going to work. 05:45.500 --> 05:47.420 You have to do Ctrl shift. 05:47.420 --> 05:55.730 So here Ctrl shift and V and you see the text has been copied, then I'm going to do Ctrl S and Ctrl 05:55.730 --> 05:56.690 X okay. 05:56.720 --> 05:59.960 So I have my password here. 05:59.960 --> 06:02.750 And we're going to use this file later in this section. 06:02.750 --> 06:06.830 So to recap here you create a new Google account for your Raspberry Pi. 06:06.860 --> 06:09.050 You activate the two step verification. 06:09.050 --> 06:11.180 Then you go to the app passwords. 06:11.180 --> 06:14.930 You generate a new password that you copy somewhere. 06:14.930 --> 06:16.190 So anywhere it doesn't matter. 06:16.190 --> 06:18.140 You can even write it on a piece of paper. 06:18.170 --> 06:21.800 You just copy it and we're going to use that later in the course. 06:21.800 --> 06:29.330 And very important note is that when I refer to the password that we use in the code, once again it's 06:29.330 --> 06:35.270 not the password of your Google account, it's the password here, the app password that we have generated. 06:35.300 --> 06:35.480 Okay. 06:35.510 --> 06:38.870 We will never use the password of your Google account. 06:38.900 --> 06:39.140 Okay. 06:39.140 --> 06:41.630 Never write this anywhere on your Raspberry Pi. 06:41.660 --> 06:47.240 Just use the app passwords that you have generated here, and you can generate as many app passwords 06:47.240 --> 06:50.090 as you want for as many applications as you want.
