Expected response code 250 but got code “535”, with message “535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted

by

I researched on the internet and some answers includes enabling the “access for lesser app” and “unlocking gmail captcha” which sadly didn’t work for me until I found the 2-step verification.

What I did the following was:

  1. enable the 2-step verification to google HERE

  2. Create App Password to be use by your system HERE

  3. I selected Others (custom name) and clicked generate

  4. Went to my env file in laravel and edited this

    [email protected]

    MAIL_PASSWORD=thepasswordgenerated

  5. Restarted my apache server and boom! It works again.

This was my solution. I created this to atleast make other people not go wasting their time researching for a possible answer.
