尝试重置密码时出现身份验证错误 - django

Question

I try to reset password with gmail.com. I think I set everything correct, but it's still doesn't work and raise error like so:

settings.py

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('EMAIL_USER')
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = os.environ.get('EMAIL_PASS')

I set my enviroment variables EMAIL_USER (login to my gmail account) and EMAIL_PASS (16-sign password provided by Google when you use 2-step authentication - Google App Password). I tried also use password to my gmail account but this also not work. Someone know what I do wrong ? Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Change the EMAIL_PORT to be 465

EMAIL_PORT = 465

Using smtplib to connect directly to the gmail stmp server it fails with port 587 but works with 465:

server=smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 465)
account="MY ACCOUNT LOG IN"
password="MY APP PASSWORD"
server.login(account, password) 

returns:

(235, b'2.7.0 Accepted')

However

server=smtplib.SMTP_SSL('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
account="MY ACCOUNT LOG IN"
password="MY APP PASSWORD"
server.login(account, password)

Gives a time out error. And connecting without SSL isn't supported for gmail:

server=smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
account="MY ACCOUNT LOG IN"
password="MY APP PASSWORD"
server.login(account, password)

Returns

smtplib.SMTPNotSupportedError: SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server.
