ViewsNodeMailer - Username and Password not accepted
I am getting this in postman -
{
"code": "EAUTH",
"response": "535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n535 5.7.8
https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials x7-
20020aa784c7000000b005058d220b37sm21945855pfn.64 - gsmtp",
"responseCode": 535,
"command": "AUTH PLAIN"
}
Email And password not accepted , I have already gone through this question, and tried possible way to resolve this problem, but nothing worked out.
nodemailer code section -
let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
port: 587,
secure: false,
auth: {
user: 'mygmail@gmail.com',
pass: 'mypassword'
}
})
const info = await transporter.sendMail({
from: 'mygmail@gmail.com',
to: "person@gmail.com",
subject: "subject",
text: "text",
html: `<h1> hello </h1>`
})
I have tried -
generate an app-specific password and use that in place of your actual password.
enabled the captcha (link)
enabled the IMAP setting in gmail->setting->Forwarding and POP/IMAP
I Read this - less secure app and google account
Any help would be appreciated.

You can not login to the smtp server using a login and password anymore. You could try using an apps password but as Less secure apps & your Google Account is being removed shortly this is probably not the best option.
I recommend looking into Xoauth2 this way you can authorize the user rather than relying upon their password. I would try adapting javascript-implicit-flow to see if this will work.

- First, You need to use a valid Gmail account with your credentials.
- You need to allow less secure apps from your google account to send emails. Through this link. Allow less secure apps From your Google Account
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer');
const sendEmail = async () => {
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'gmail',
auth: {
user: 'sender gmail',
pass: 'sender password',
},
});
const options = {
from: 'sender gmail',
to: 'receiver gmail',
subject: 'subject',
text: 'text',
};
await transporter.sendMail(options);
};
module.exports = sendEmail;
