Not allowing me to login and send emails
Opened this issue · 2 comments
All of my login credentials are correct, but it still does not allow me to log in and send emails. It scrapes the ads, but when it comes time to log in I get this error, smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials m13sm3647095pff.21 - gsmtp').
Hi, is your account using 2 factor authentication?
if so, try generating an app specific password here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833
If not, try the read-me instructions:
If you're using gmail, you'll have to go to 'My Account>Sign in & security>Connected apps & sites' then turn "Allow less secure apps" to "On" to allow the script to sign into gmail.
If all else fails, try re-entering your login details.
It should definitely work. Mine works fine.
