Solved - Gmail SMTP Less Secure App No Longer Support

Since Google announced that from May 30, 2022, ​​Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices (shutting down its less secure apps) which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password.

From day to day, Google is increasing the security requirements for gaining access to your Gmail accounts. Base on my experience, I used to send email outside gmail app or website for my own personal use, but I got an SMTP Authentication Error however; my user name / pass was correct.

So today I will share with you how to fixed this problem because we have alternative way to send gmail message via you own app or even in outlook or other app which not owned by Google.
