node.js email doesn't get sent with gmail smtp

Question

I\'m trying to send the email gmail smtp but I\'m getting the error:

My email and password is correct I\'m using the nodemailer for sending the mail;

Answer 1

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'Gmail',
  auth: {
    user: 'user@gmail.com',
    pass: 'password'
  }
});

Try the above, and do the following which worked for me.

Login to https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and TURN ON Access for less secure apps.

I hope it will work for you too.

Thank you.
