Just completed the esp32 email program. Upon running the code everthing worked as it should up until the gmail LOGIN which FAILED authentication. I am sure of the user name and password being correct since I just created the email account for the program to use. Any ideas?

Hi.
Please follow all the instructions in the tutorial.
You need to create an app password and use that instead of the email password.
Let me know if that solves your issue.
Regards,
Sara

My bad Sara, I was following the directions but was unable to set up my passkey. Got error saying could not set up on your device. Im on a desktop. So I decided to try my normal creds. I guess I should be asking how to set up the passkey. Thanks for the quick reply

Hi.
Which tutorial are you following?
I think we have the instructions for that in all tutorials that use this email method, but we might have forgotten something…
Send me a link of the tutorial you’re following.
