How to configure your Gmail SMTP?
To get SMTP credentials on Gmail, please following the guide below:
Go to your Google Account > Security > Less secure app access > Turn it on
(Notice: Access to less secure apps means that Google recommends using OAuthen v2)
But it is still secure because it is using SSL & TLS encryption with 2048-bit.
You can change the app password any time in Google Security Dashboard. So don't worry about it
