Answer 1

Why do you need the xoauth2 options?

According to Nodemailer

This is the basic usage

var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    service: 'Gmail',
    auth: {
        user: 'gmail.user@gmail.com',
        pass: 'userpass'
    }
});

Where the user is, your Gmail username and the password is, your Gmail password.
