I had the same issue on my local server. I tried many options like turning on less secure apps and turned off 2-step verification but nothing seems worked for me.

So I found this solution, someone may get help with this solution.

You do not need to turn on less secure apps.

Turn on 2-step verification and then Create App Password by clicking here

Select Others (custom name) and click generate.

Use that system generated password as your gmail password.

That's It!

Make sure that you enabled less secure app in security part of your google account. And better use

MAIL_PORT=465
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=ssl

Two steps: - Enable "Allow less secure apps" on your google account security policy. - Restart your local servers.

Just change your 'driver' => 'smtp', to 'driver' => 'sendmail' in env file. Make sure allow less secure apps is ON in your google account settings.
