Notes:

• The SSL module does not need to be enabled in Apache.
• The OpenSSL extension needs to be enabled in PHP. The details can be found at the php.net Installation page.
• If you are using WAMP on Windows, the openssl module is not enabled by default and you need to enable it. To do this:
  • Open the php.ini file and uncomment the line extension=php_openssl.dll by removing the semicolon ; from the beginning of the line.
  • Save the php.ini file and restart the Apache service.
• If you use 2-step verification in Gmail, you need to add a new password in Settings - Accounts - Change accounts settings - Other Google Account settings - Security - 2-step verification - Manage your application specific passwords.
• When the new Application Specific Password (ASP) is presented in groups of four characters separated by spaces, make sure that you do NOT enter the spaces into the SMTP password in the mail server settings in Joomla.
• Application Specific Passwords (ASPs): See the Google Support Sign in with App Passwords page.
• 2-Step Verification: See the Google Support Turn on 2-Step Verification page.
