javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: failed to connect, no password specified?

Question

This program attempts to send e-mail but throws a run time exception:

javax.mail.AuthenticationFailedException: failed to connect, no password specified?


        

Answer 1

I also have this problem so don't worry. It comes from mail server side due to an outside authentication issue. Open your mail and you will get a mail from the mail server telling you to enable accessibility. When you have done that, retry your program.

Answer 2

It might be worth verifying that the gmail account hasn't been locked out due to several unsuccessful login attempts, you may need to reset your password. I had the same problem as you, and this turned out to be the solution.
