Re: format for Gmail "apps" password

Gmail prints the whitespace to make it easier to copy, you can input it without them.

I basically did some random steps in postfix, but am trying to understand:

They give an example of:

[smtp.gmail.com]:587 jane.doe@xxxxxxxxx:doeadeer

but the password for gmail using the "app" generated password is more like:  xxx yyy zzz

which includes whitespace.  So how exactly is a password like that stored in the file?

thanks,
