    Important reminders on filing the form

    • The value for the Password field is not your email login password.
      Ask for the App Password from software providers like Microsoft and enter it in the Password field. For example, if you use Office 365, ask for the App Password from Microsoft's My Sign-Ins | Security Info page.

    • Always use a valid email address for Username.
      Using an invalid email will prevent MSPbots from successfully sending the verification email. 

    • The Username field has a higher priority than the From Address field.
      Note that when the Username field has a valid email address, you do not need to turn on the Show From Address toggle switch or set an email in the From Address field because the email address in the Username field has a higher priority than the one entered in the From Address field. The system sends the verification email to the email address provided in the Username field first.
