Hi, I am trying to enable e-mail for WordPress via Easy WP SMTP and tried to send test mail but for some reason, it is not getting through. Below is the massage I received:

22,287 PointsHi,
I had such problem when i was using gmail account with 2-factor authentication enabled, aswell as on email from my hosting provider. The quickest solution to me was to create new gmail account with only password authentication and use it to wordpress mailing.
Hopes it helps

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 4,000 PointsHi again, I tried with another e-mail and following message is a response from google:
Hi Dildar, Google just blocked someone from signing into your Google Account mealbox.no@gmail.com from an app that may put your account at risk. Less secure app Thursday, November 2, 2017 4:20 PM (GMT) Don't recognize this activity? If you didn't recently receive an error while trying to access a Google service, like Gmail, from a non-Google application, someone may have your password.
SECURE YOUR ACCOUNT
Are you the one who tried signing in? Google will continue to block sign-in attempts from the app you're using because it has known security problems or is out of date. You can continue to use this app by allowing access to less secure apps, but this may leave your account vulnerable.
The Google Accounts team
And I have received same message from google every time I tried with different e-mail. Dildar
