Cannot send email from Yii SwiftMail to GMail: Expected response code 250 but got code "535"

I got this error code:

Expected response code 250 but got code "535", with message "535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14257

However, I'm using TLS so how could it possible be more secure?!

There are a few other questions, but they are not for Yii.

Some code:

Yii::$app->mailer->setTransport([
  'class' => 'Swift_SmtpTransport',
  'host' => BestSales::getConfigValue('smtp.host'),
  'username' => BestSales::getConfigValue('smtp.username'),
  'password' => BestSales::decrypt(BestSales::getConfigValue('smtp.password.encrypted')),
  'port' => BestSales::getConfigValue('smtp.port'),
  'encryption' => BestSales::getConfigValue('smtp.encryption'), // 'tls', 'ssl'
]);

Values:

[
    'smtp.host' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
    'smtp.username' => '[email protected]',
    'smtp.password.encrypted' => 'xxxxxxxxxxx',
    'smtp.port' => '587',
    'smtp.encryption' => 'tls',
]

I logged into Gmail and found this message:

Sign-in attempt prevented
Hi BestSales, Someone just tried to sign in to your Google Account [email protected] from an app that doesn't meet modern security standards. Details: Tuesday, 17 May 2016 23:27 (Eastern Daylight Time) Ashburn, VA, USA* We strongly recommend that you use a secure app, like Gmail, to access your account. All apps made by Google meet these security standards. Using a less secure app, on the other hand, could leave your account vulnerable. Learn more.

Google stopped this sign-in attempt, but you should review your recently used devices

The Yii docs says 'tls' is an option. http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-swiftmailer-mailer.html

Yes, I verified the decrypted value is the correct password. I've already visited https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha. I can't turn on 2-factor because I don't own the account and it needs a phone number. I can't turn on 'allow insecure access' right now as it's a client's account, but I've asked. (I'd rather not allow insecure access though.)

   1. Enable the 2-step verification
   2. Create App Passwdord to be use by your system HERE and use it 
   3. Now go to .env file and make these changes
        
        MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
        MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
        MAIL_PORT=587
        [email protected]
        MAIL_PASSWORD=password generated from app password
        MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
        
        This worked fine on mine.

    For 2-step verification 
       https://www.google.com/landing/2step/
    
    For App Password
       https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords

Hey after couple hours of resarching have some tips to you:

1 - Enable less security app access on gmail

2 - Access this link : https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

3 - on config/web.php add these params: 



        'encryption' => 'tls', 
        'streamOptions' => [
        'ssl' => [
            'allow_self_signed' => true,
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ],
    ],

First of all, use ssl in encryption and value 465 in port, because of the two factor authentication do not use your gmail password, but create a gmail APP Password which is better to give access from there to a less secure application, here is the link for creating app passwords.

You have to log into you gmail account and go the the security settings and notify them that it was you trying to access your account. They put a block on it because it looked suspicious.

Go to this link and try again.
