Non 2FA Gmail Send Email Possible?

Questions

Describe the problem/error/question

I’m trying to send an email without 2FA. I don’t want 2FA on this account. Ever. I’ve tried all the testing for TSL versions and the sort, but the system keeps telling me (GPT) that authentication isn’t happy. I’ve inserted my proper email address and password but it still doesn’t go through.

What is the error message (if any)?

<~* 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. For more information, go to

Gmail setup is more complicated than just entering your email address and password. Instead, you’ll need to set up an oAuth connection. You can find how to do that here:
