Gmail SMTP password not taken

wimgielis commented 4 months ago

Hello,

I am trying to run the tool and updated the config.ini file. When starting the scanner, I get the error:

[2024-07-14 00:43:05][tgtg][main.py:main:217][ERROR] Configuration Error: (534, b'5.7.9 Application-specific password required. For more information, go to\n5.7.9 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=InvalidSecondFactor ffacd0b85a97d-368119970e7sm1809147f8f.21 - gsmtp')

I know for a fact that my password for Gmail is correct. It does have an ampersand, is that an issue ? Do we need to escape it ? The last version is used (a day old). I cannot compare with earlier versions, first time user here :-)

Thanks a lot !

Wim

Or, does it have to do with 2FA ?

Hi @wimgielis,

You need to create an application password for your google account.
