Paste the Fastmail application password into the appropriate field. - Enter the new password.
On the teal-colored section of the screen, enter the new password that was sent to you. - Confirm server settings.

Important:
The only credential you truly need for this process is the application-specific password. This keeps your main account password secure.
Tip:
You can skip several steps by using the direct shortcut link to create an application password immediately if you prefer a faster setup.
Security Note:
Even if passwords appeared briefly in the video, they are no longer accessible. Application passwords can be revoked at any time once migration is complete.
After Migration Is Complete
Once everything is working, access to application passwords can be revoked for additional security. This ensures no unused credentials remain active.
