How to solve IMAP Gmail Connection error 'Too many login failures'

I am using IMAP to get inbox data of my Gmail in PHP. It shows the error:

Too many login failures

I Enabled Allow less secure App access also, but I'm still getting the same error. Please Some one help me.

Solution

  • Try following these steps:

    Use an App Password: If you use 2-Step Verification, try signing in with an App Password.

    Allow less secure apps: If you don't use 2-Step Verification, you might need to allow less secure apps to access your account.

    If you recently changed your Gmail password, you might need to re-enter your Gmail account information or completely repeat your Gmail account setup on your other email client.
