# Application Passwords

Application passwords act as alternative, app-specific passwords for your email account. They are incredibly useful when you want to connect your mailbox to third-party email clients (like Outlook, Apple Mail, or Thunderbird) without sharing your primary account password. If you have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled, many email clients cannot prompt you for the verification code. In these cases, you use an application password instead of your main password to log in securely.
