I am trying to setup a Google Workspace gmail account in Mautic 4 Mail Send Settings, my PHP version is 7.4. I have tried an app password and the login usual setup but did not help. This is the error I get: Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username “xxxxx@xxxxxxx.es” using 3 possible authenticators. Authenticator LOGIN returned Expected response code 235 but got code “535”, with message "535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted Any help please! ---

Hi, If I recall correctly at some point in time Google started using app passwords. So in order for you to connect / use Gmail you had to generate app specific password \< [Sign in using app passwords - Gmail Help](https://support.google.com/mail/answer/185833?hl=en-GB) \>. You could also set your account so that you would be able to login to account with your (user) password but I would advise against it, since you have better approach above. This is not actually issue with Mautic (based on error message). I would also like to kindly remind you to use support ticket template the next time you post, as its easier to read and I think more people will be interested in helping you. Regards, M. ---

Hello, thank you very much for your answer. I fixed it and it works. Here the details just in case somebody else need it. 1.- Activate 2 step authentication for that user account 2.- Create and use app password for Mautic instead of your usual password 3.- Dont select Gmail smtp in Mautic - go to other SMTP server 4.- Use this smtp setup [smtp.gmail.com](http://smtp.gmail.com) Requires SSL: Yes Requires Login Authentication: Yes (App password) Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587 Verify test connection and send test email. This is it, good luck! ---
