Can not authenticate Gmail SMTP for Wordpress
I'm using "Easy WP SMTP" plugin in order to set-up Gmail SMTP. I'm provided with a Gmail account to do so.
SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
Type of Encryption: SSL
SMTP Port: 465
SMTP Authentication: Yes
SMTP Username: xxxxxxxxx
SMTP Password: xxxxxxxxx
When I'm trying to send a test email, I got from WP:
SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT
SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.
and an message from Google to the email:
"Sign-in attempt was blocked
Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account from a non-Google app. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened. Review your account activity to make sure no one else has access."
Please help if you have experienced.
