KEYCLOAK Test Connection doesn't work "Error! Failed to send email"

Question

I am trying to use the Forgot Password function for my Keycloak authentication. So I have already set On for the Forgot Password in the Login section. And I have tried to set up the configurations under Realm Email. In the email tab I entered

host  smtp.gmail.com
smtp port 465 
username  ***@gmail.com 
SSL  enabled 
Authentication - enabled with username and password

But when i'm testing the connection, I keep getting the error "Error! Failed to send email".

Any Help would be highly appreciated, Thank you.

You need to provide your email address to Keycloak administrator's email address, and turn on "Allow less secure apps" on Google account settings page. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en

If succeed, you can see SMTP test message from Keycloak in your mail box.
