i am trying to send email through nodemailer, i have permitted my google account for less secure apps, still getiing error

I'm trying to send email using nodemailer and below is my code for that...

 require('dotenv').config();

const nodemailer=require('nodemailer');

// step 1
let transporter=nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: 'gmail',
    auth:{
        user: process.env.EMAIL,
        pass: process.env.PASSWORD
    }
});

let mailOptions={
  from: 'abc@gmail.com',
  to: 'mrinal.annand@gmail.com',
  subject: 'Testing and Testing',
  text: 'yes,it works'
};

transporter.sendMail(mailOptions,function(err,data){
    if(err)console.log('Error Occurs',err);
    else console.log('Message sent!!');
})

i am getting this much long error, what i'm doing wrong here. why it is saying username and password not accepted,both my mails are valid and working, password i have given arbitrarily..

Solution

  • apparently the username and password of the email are wrong, you should try to login using copy paste with those credentials
