There are a few steps you have to keep in mind.

• First, make sure you have turned off 2-way authentication of google account
• Second, allow access for less secure apps- https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps

Now there are two scenarios If you are developing it in your local machine login to your google account in your browser, this way the google recognizes the machine.

If you have deployed the application onto a server then after the first request you will get an authentication error, so you have to give access to the server, just go here to give access- https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
