How can I avoid google mail server asking me to log in via browser?
captcha, email, gmail, google-apps
Solution
Just go to https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and click "continue". This is going to allow access from other servers.
Problem
I am trying to send emails from Django using an email configured by Google Apps, my configuration at the `settings.py` file looks something like this: ``` EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'contact@mydomain.com' EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password' EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_USE_TLS = True ``` When I try to send an email using: ``` from django.core.mail import send_mail send_mail("Happy new year", "We wish you the best for 3001", "contact@mydomain.com", ["someuser@gmail.com"]) ``` I get the following error: ``` SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, '5.7.1 Please log in with your web browser and then try again. Learn more at 5.7.1 https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=78754 k2sm758604obl.14') ``` Since I'm working on a remote server with no graphical user interface, I cannot even try to login from the browser.
