Option 2 (more secure)
Step 1: Enable two step verification
Step 2: Generate App Password
Step 3: Copy and paste the generated password into the password field under Email Sharing in Swing Catalyst (make sure to click Save, then Test)
This solution is more secure as you will be generating a password specifically for email sharing with Gmail within Swing Catalyst. It requires you to first enable two step authentication. Follow the instructions in the link to create a separate app password for Swing
