node.js email doesn't get sent with gmail smtp

Question

I'm trying to send the email gmail smtp but I'm getting the error:

My email and password is correct I'm using the nodemailer for sending the mail;

       var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');                  // create reusable transporter object using SMTP transport                  var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({                     service: 'Gmail',                     auth: {                         admin: 'myuseremail.com',                         pass: 'password'                     }                 });                  var mailOptions = {                     from: 'sender address', // sender address                      to: to, // list of receivers                      subject: 'Password Reset', // Subject line                      html: 'Your one time password is : <b>' + temporaryPassword + ' </b>' // html body                  };                  transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (error, info) {                     console.log(error,info);               } 

in log i'm getting the error:

    {      [Error: Invalid login]       code: 'EAUTH',       response: '535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n535 5.7.8  https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14257 k5sm20957041pdo.48 - gsmtp',       responseCode: 535     }

Answer 1

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({   service: 'Gmail',   auth: {     user: '[email protected]',     pass: 'password'   } }); 

Try the above, and do the following which worked for me.

Login to https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and TURN ON Access for less secure apps.

I hope it will work for you too.

Thank you.
