Laravel, Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username "" using 3 possible authenticators

I am trying to find out why this happens.

.env

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=*******[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=******
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

mail.php

<?php
return [

    'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),

    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),

    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),

    'from' => ['address' =>  '******@gmail.com', 'name' => 'Project'],

    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),

    'username' => env('******@gmail.com'),

    'password' => env('******'),

    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',

    'pretend' => false,
    'stream' => [
        'ssl' => [
            'allow_self_signed' => true,
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ],
    ],
];

This is the error

You need to enable less secure apps access at your google account for this to work

Your .env file looks good.

You mail.php file should look like this:

<?php
return [

    'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),

    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),

    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),

    'from' => ['address' =>  '******@gmail.com', 'name' => 'Project'],

    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),

    'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME', '******@gmail.com'),

    'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD', '******'),

    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',

    'pretend' => false,
    'stream' => [
        'ssl' => [
            'allow_self_signed' => true,
            'verify_peer' => false,
            'verify_peer_name' => false,
        ],
    ],
];

The value in the second parameter for the env() function, gets used if the .env key specified in the first parameter is not found.

I think there is something wrong with your mail.php file.

You should be passing the variable names to the env() function for username and password.

So this:

'username' => env('******@gmail.com'),

'password' => env('******'),

Becomes this:

'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),

'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
