javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException

I have passed correct credentials but it is failing authentication

I found this when I used my main Gmail account, but on creating a fresh one it went straight through. I wonder; do you have 2-factor authentication on your account? Maybe this doesn't handle that properly...

What did you do to solve ?

[Leepee]

You need to use an account without 2 factor authentication enabled, or remove it from the account you want to use. This lib does not support it (honestly it shouldn't).

Unfortunately, this does not work.

If this doesn't work still, log into the account and tell it to chill about all the security errors. I've had Gmail freak out about multiple logins form different geographic locations quickly. You basically have to make sure that app access is available on the account, and tell it to ignore all the security concerns.
