Answer 1

Your code looks correct. Try logging in through your browser and if you are able to access your account come back and try your code again. Just make sure that you have typed your username and password correct

EDIT: Google blocks sign-in attempts from apps which do not use modern security standards (mentioned on their support page). You can however, turn on/off this safety feature by going to the link below:

Answer 2

Your code looks correct but sometimes google blocks an IP when you try to send a email from an unusual location. You can try to unblock it by visiting https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha from the IP and following the prompts.
