Enable less secure app login for your google account, by default google doesn't allow you to login to smtp server.
Go here >>https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps
and enable it and you will be good to go.

@dipakbera
Hello, would you mind sharing what solved your issue in the end? In our case we also enabled less secure app but the same error shows up. Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me @dipakbera .
We solved the problem eventually by using a Google generated App Password. It looks like using the login pw was the problem for us before.

2FA is still needed to generate this App pw but miraculously it solved the problem.
Thank you again!

From google.

To help keep your account secure, from May 30, 2022, ​​Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

I have manged to fix my issue as Google have disabled the less secure apps recently. All I had to do was make my google account 2 factor authentication, then generate a new app password to use within the settings.py of django app for email password. Hope it helps

Go to your google account settings. Go to Security. then Turn on 2-step verification. Then App Password ta will be enable. From App Password you can generate password. use this password for authentication purposes

what to do?

T40FPV commented

Hey, community, I did as follows and read everyone's comments in this thread and I keep getting the same kickback message.

JJ1006 commented

Hey, I have fixed it. You need to go into your google accounts settings and then go to "security". Then scroll down to "app passwords". There you can generate a code that will work as a password.

Do not share that code with anyone.

I was able to complete this. Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask more.

I did go into my Google Mail Settings and Turned on the 2 Step Verification and created the App Password. I put that password into my Settings.py and I still get:

SMTPAuthenticationError at /register/

The Code Reads as follows:

Settings.py

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'from.********@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = '****************'

The code in

Signals.py

from django.db.models.signals import post_save, post_delete
from django.dispatch import receiver

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from .models import Profile

from django.core.mail import send_mail

)

    subject = 'Welcome to DevSearch'
    message = 'We are glad you are here!'

    send_mail(
