I need to send email using Node Js. I have used the following code,

    var nodemailer = require("nodemailer");
//var smtpTransport = require("nodemailer-smtp-transport")
var smtpTransport = nodemailer.createTransport("SMTP",{
   service: "Gmail",
   auth: {
       user: "[email protected]",
       pass: "xxxxxxxx"
   }
});
smtpTransport.sendMail({
           from: "[email protected]", // sender address
           to: "[email protected]", // comma separated list of receivers
           subject: "Test Mail", // Subject line
           text: "Hi, Test Mail"// plaintext body
        }, function(error, data){

           if(error){
               console.log(error);
           }else{
               console.log("Mail Sent");
           }
        });

When I run this code, I get error,

   { AuthError: Invalid login - 534-5.7.14 <https://accounts.google.com/signin/continue?sarp=1&scc=1&plt=AKgnsbsO

  1. For Gmail you may need to configure "Allow Less Secure Apps" in your Gmail account. Click Here.

  2. If you are using 2FA in that case you would have to create an Application specific password.

  3. You also may need to unlock your account with "Allow access to your Google account" to use SMTP.

I can upload a working example on github if you wish. Authentication is the error here.

Hope it helps.

I have configured first and third one as you said. I dont know what is the second one you are saying here 2FA?. Please upload a working example.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-factor_authentication. Two-Step-Verification in case of Gmail.
Still the issue persists. Can you post me an example?
