Before using Gmail SMTP, you need to authorize your server to access your Google account.

Click here, log into your Gmail account, then click Continue

Note: You should use your main Google account to achieve this purpose

If you have merged accounts from google you will receive an authentication error

This will enable your account to access your new device (webserver).

Select Other/Custom name from Select App, give it a name such as “DO – Production Server” and then click Generate.

Note down the application password as it will be required in the next step.

Now, open the link again and click Continue.
