### Error Message

Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.

### Other Information

So im using GMAIL to host and PHPMailer to send the email, and in localhost all this works just fine no error, nothing but when i try online it says some problem with authenticate, and i receice a email in my email saying that them block the attempt to login, is there some way to turn that off, and let anything enter in my email??

Ps. I already activate in email, to let less safe access in the account.

Instead, you should enable two factor authentication and use an App Specific Password to login instead. The process is detailed in the setup instructions of our example contact form:
