SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.
-
I see that other people have had this same error. I am hosted at inMotion Hosting and I chose this plugin because of your recommendation. My mail is through gmail and I followed your instruction and I’m still getting the error. I have been on a chat with inMotion and they couldn’t help as well. Any other suggestions? This is the error:

Had the same error start occurring with this plugin. I found that deleting and creating a new app password allowed it to function again. Once the new password is created copy and paste it into the plugin password field and save.
