Welcome @Biswas112 !

There are a couple of requirements for an account to be able to use an app password with Gmail:

  • You must have 2-Step verification enabled, and not for use with security keys.
  • You must not have “Advanced Protection” set on.

And, depending upon the type of account, you may not even have this option available any more.

Side note: It’s helpful to become familiar with the sendtestemail when testing email connectivity. It’s a lot simpler than starting your app and visiting a web page.
