How do I create an App Password to connect my Betterment account elsewhere?

Published | Updated

An App Password is required for connecting your Betterment account to external services or applications. This password is separate from your regular login credentials and provides secure access to your account data.

To create an App Password for connecting to third-party services or applications:

  1. Log in to your Betterment account on a web browser.
  2. Click "Settings" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Navigate to the "Security” tab.
  4. Click “Generate a new App Password” in the “App Passwords” section.
  5. Specify the application for which you're creating the password.
  6. Once generated, copy and paste the 20-character password provided. Note: This password will be shown only once.
  7. Use this password to log in to Betterment from within the specified application.

Remember, this password is specific to connected applications and cannot be used to log in to Betterment directly.
