How to Manually Log In to Google Workspace Mailboxes

Updated this week

Manually logging into a Google Workspace mailbox can be useful for inbox checks, security verification, or specific third-party setups. However, manual access should be used only when absolutely necessary, as Zapmail already manages mailboxes automatically.

This guide walks you through the correct and safe way to log in.


⚠️ Important Before You Continue

When you click Show Password in Zapmail, you’ll see a warning popup.

Please read it carefully.

Manual Access Warning

  • Google may trigger phone verification
    If mailboxes are accessed from different IPs or locations, Google may flag the login as unusual and ask for phone verification. You’ll need to complete this manually.

  • Manual login is not recommended
    Only proceed if absolutely necessary. Manual access can interfere with Zapmail’s automation and mailbox stability.

  • Do NOT change the password or mailbox settings
    Changing credentials or configurations will break Zapmail automation, may cause loss of access, and can negatively impact deliverability.

👉 Proceed only if you understand and accept these risks.


Before You Begin

  • Make sure the mailbox status is Active

  • Keep your Zapmail dashboard open (you’ll need it for 2-step verification)

💡 Need credentials for many mailboxes at once?
You can download mailbox logins, app passwords, and SMTP details in bulk. Refer to our Bulk Credentials Export Guide for that process.


Step 1: Open Mailboxes

  • Log in to your Zapmail dashboard

  • Switch to Google Workspace

  • Go to Mailboxes

  • Click the mailbox (or See More) you want to access


Step 2: View Login Credentials

  • In the sidebar, open Mailbox Details

  • Copy the email address

  • Click Show Password

  • Review the warning popup and accept it

  • Copy the password


Step 3: Log In to Gmail

  • Go to gmail.com

  • Enter the email address and password

  • Click Next


Step 4: Complete 2-Step Verification

Google will request a verification code.

  • Return to Zapmail

  • Click See More on the same mailbox

  • Copy the Authenticator Code

  • Paste it into Google and continue


🔐 Logging in as Admin (Optional)

If you need admin-level access to manage the Google Workspace itself (users, security, billing, settings):

  • Go to admin.google.com

  • Log in using your admin mailbox credentials from Zapmail

  • Complete the same 2-step verification process

This gives you admin access to the Google Workspace for that domain.


Final Reminders

  • Manual login should be rare

  • Never change mailbox passwords or settings

  • Phone verification prompts must be handled manually if they appear

  • Frequent manual access may affect automation and stability
