Re: SMTP Authentification error

In my experience, Gmail does not allow (or does not support) using it as a smarthost if all you have is a free account, and even if you get it to work it will eventually cause you headaches. I don't know if this has changed the last few years, but I feel it hasn't. It's much better to use another service. I use runbox.com; mailbox.org is another solution. These are both paid email services. In a recent thread, someone also mentioned mailgun and sendgrid, which may be better suited for this purpose.

Other than that, you should enter a breakpoint or something in your code to verify that the values of EMAIL_HOST_USER and EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD are what they should.

Antonis

Hello everyone,

I included the 16 character code to my environment variable and called it in my settings.pymfile,  but still the error occurs. Also here is my settings.py file:

- EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'

EMAIL_PORT = 587

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True

EMAIL_HOST_USER = os.environ.get('DB_USER')

EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('DB_PASSWORD')
