SMTP Authentification error

[Delvin Alexander]

Hello everyone, 

May you please assist in informing me on what i need to do to resolve this issue. 

- SMTPAuthenticationError at /password-reset/

- (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials j64-20020a62c543000000b0050d260c0ea8sm13366402pfg.110 - gsmtp')

I included the 16 character code to my environment variable and called it in my settings.pymfile,  but still the error occurs. Also here is my settings.py file:

- EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'

EMAIL_PORT = 587

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('DB_USER')

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('DB_PASSWORD')

[Julio Cojom]

Seem pretty clear, you are calling db user and db password instead of email and email password,

EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('DB_USER')

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('DB_PASSWORD')

Regards,

Julio Cojom

Check whether you have turned on less secure apps or not.

i thought that because i had that as my variable name that i had to call upon that name. Thank you, i will give that a try. 

[Delvin Alexander]

I had the same issue before I resolve by Login to my Gmail account via browser on the same computer then go back to my project it works

Otherwise do the followings

i.             Allow access to less secure app for your Gmail account

ii.            Make sure you don’t send bulk emails, normally Gmail block your account if you send bulk emails

iii.           Debug to see if  os.environ.get(‘DB_USER’) and os.environ.get(‘DB_PASSWORD’) are your Gmail credentials (I thought dB refer to database credentials)

Use Google api.

I meant Gmail api.I was also stuck with Gmail.Also may 31 onwards Gmail will block all third party apps which simply login with email and password.

[Antonis Christofides]

In my experience, Gmail does not allow (or does not support) using it as a smarthost if all you have is a free account, and even if you get it to work it will eventually cause you headaches. I don't know if this has changed the last few years, but I feel it hasn't. It's much better to use another service. I use runbox.com; mailbox.org is another solution. These are both paid email services. In a recent thread, someone also mentioned mailgun and sendgrid, which may be better suited for this purpose.

Other than that, you should enter a breakpoint or something in your code to verify that the values of EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD are what they should.

Antonis

Hi, You need to enable the less secure apps on your google account. following this article : https://devanswers.co/allow-less-secure-apps-access-gmail-account/

[Hassan Bashir]

Hi there, 

EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'

EMAIL_PORT = 587

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('DB_USER')

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('DB_PASSWORD')

in this code you just need to provide that email on which you will receive the email i means   that gmail account why you use the db user or db password ?

here the solution to receive emails like 

EMAIL_HOST_USER = exa...@gmail.com

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 12345678

Good Afternoon,

i included the db_user and db_password becasue that was what my environment variable used in my advanced settings. When i debugged i did use both email user and db user and got the same result. Also i tried everyone's answer but still obtained the same result. Is it something i might have done wrong? I will try to rewatch the videos again but if someone has another try i can give then please inform me. i have been stuck for a while on this one. 

[Hassan Bashir]

Hi Dear, 

Good Afternoon.

Dear these settings are used for only email host and password these variables are not valid for db_user or db_password. see the image below. Also make sure you smtp is enabled in that email which email you are using settings.py ok hope got this ?
