Node.js email not sent with gmail smtp

Question

I try to send a gmail smtp letter, but I get an error message:

My email address and password are correct. I use nodemailer to send mail;

       var nodemailer = require('nodemailer');

                // create reusable transporter object using SMTP transport 
                var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
                    service: 'Gmail',
                    auth: {
                        admin: 'myuseremail.com',
                        pass: 'password'
                    }
                });

                var mailOptions = {
                    from: 'sender address', // sender address 
                    to: to, // list of receivers 
                    subject: 'Password Reset', // Subject line 
                    html: 'Your one time password is : <b>' + temporaryPassword + ' </b>' // html body 
                };

                transporter.sendMail(mailOptions, function (error, info) {
                    console.log(error,info);
              }

in the log I get an error:

    {
     [Error: Invalid login]
      code: 'EAUTH',
      response: '535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n535 5.7.8  https://support.google.com/mail/answer/14257 k5sm20957041pdo.48 - gsmtp',
      responseCode: 535
    }

Answer 1

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  service: 'Gmail',
  auth: {
    user: '[e-mail]',
    pass: 'password'
  }
});

Try the above and do the following that worked for me.

Sign in to https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and TURN ON Access to less secure applications.

I hope this works for you too.

Thank.

If you use OAuth2 and you encounter the problem above, setting up my transporter as shown below resolved my problem.

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
  port: 465,
  secure: true,
  auth: {
    type: 'OAuth2',
    user: process.env.MAIL_USER,
    clientId: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
    refreshToken: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_REFRESH_TOKEN
  }
});

If you do not know how to generate the identifier, secret and token, follow these steps: https://medium.com/@pandeysoni/nodemailer-service-in-node-js-using-smtp-and-xoauth2-7c638a39a37e

let transporter = nodeMailer.createTransport({
    host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
    port: 587,
    secure: true,
    auth: {
        user: '[e-mail]',
