I get an error when I try to connect to Gmail

[hackimov]

got an extra server challenge: {base64}

got failure response: NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Invalid credentials (Failure)

My config:

        'gmail' => [ // account identifier
            'host' => 'imap.gmail.com',
            'port' => 993,
            'encryption' => 'ssl',
            'validate_cert' => false,
            'username' => env('IMAP_GMAIL_USERNAME', 'root@example.com'),
            'password' => env('IMAP_GMAIL_PASSWORD', ''),
            'authentication' => env('IMAP_GMAIL_AUTHENTICATION', 'oauth'),
        ],

imap settings in gmail enabled

Login and password are exactly correct, specially checked by going through the website by pressing CTRL + C CTRL + V

Cleared config and app cache The data in the connection is correct.

I noticed this when looking for a bug. https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

Google has made it impossible to enable insecure apps. Marked as deprecated.

Maybe there are solutions? Thank you.

Hi @hackimov , In order to use oAuth you'll need to provide an access token instead of the password.

@Webklex Thank you, I stopped using Google.
