Unable to send email from AWS using SMTP protocol

In my spring-boot application, I can send email using org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSender from my local setup. However, after deploying to AWS I am unable to send email. It is throwing the error,

It seems there is no problem in the code and there is no problem in AWS configuration. It was gmail which was blocking login attempt. So I have to do two things, 

 1. turn on Allow less secure apps in settings

 2. go to `https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and click continue

And everything works fine!!!
