I had this error. I don't know how to solve it. I'm still searching on the web.

Hi Muhammad,

Sorry if this seems silly but it may be that the credentials are wrong. Have you checked to make sure these are all correct?

Cheers Liam

Hey Muhammad,

I had the same problem. I had to turn on allow less secure apps in my google account settings, in order for it to go through. Since it is still early in the wp program. I would turn on allow less secure apps to see it work, and then shut it off if you are worried about any security issues. I am sure moving forward you can always turn it back off if you forgot your email and need to recover it.
