@shre2398 do you have 2FA enabled on your gmail account?

shreyas-sriram commented 3 years ago

Enable 2FA and generate an app password. I guess that's the only way. https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

shre2398 commented 3 years ago

Yes, I enabled my acc for less secure apps. Its working now. Closing the issue.

PrasadG193 commented 3 years ago

@shre2398 the ideal way is to generate an app passwords (token) instead of allowing less secure apps. Please check - https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?p=InvalidSecondFactor&visit_id=637554658548216477-2576856839&rd=1. We have added note about this in the README
