2 years ago Adding the following lines to my settings.py appears to have "resolved" the issue:
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = config('EMAIL_HOST_USERNAME')
SERVER_EMAIL = config('EMAIL_HOST_USERNAME')I am still getting an error, but now it looks like it's a Gmail security error, as it doesn't look like they support username/password login via 3rd-party apps:

I am having an issue with user registration, and am not able to send registration e-mails successfully. I suspect I'm just not doing something pretty basic that django needs to send e-mails. If this is the case, then this issue request is actually a documentation request, as there are additional settings that need to be added other than the instructions in the "Installation" section to get user registration working.
I am able to get account registration to work on the database side - when I submit a POST request to the registration endpoint with the correct data, I can register a user and view them in the django admin console, but I am getting a server error when a websocket attempts to open, which looks like it has to do with my e-mail account.
To fix this, I added the following to my
settings.py:Where I am using environment variables for my username/password, and the host is
smtp.gmail.com(it's my personal gmail account). Now, when I submit a request, I get the following error:... and I'm stuck. Sounds like it's an authentication problem? But the error message isn't giving me much.
