How to configure your Gmail SMTP?

To get SMTP credentials on Gmail, please following the guide below:

Step 1: Turn on Access to less secure app

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

Notice: If you cannot find the option "Less secure app access", please turn off 2-step verification first (if you are enabling it), then reload your Google Account page, you will see the option "Less secure app access" then.

Step 2: Turn on 2-step verification here

Step 4:

• Choose "Select app" = "Mail"

Step 6: Go to App > Settings > SMTP Settings > Click Load settings

Step 7: Select SMTP Provider is Gmail and click Load Settings

Step 8: Enter user name (your Gmail/Gsuite account) and password get from Gmail App pass.
