Django Gmail SMTPAuthentication error

Question

I recently returned to a django project that used to send email using my gmail account. Now it doesn't work. This link: Django SMTPAuthenticationError suggest turning on the less secure authentication, but that seems like its a bad idea. Is there a new way to do this with the newer google authentication

django 1.6, ubuntu 14.4

Maybe try to create an Application specific password. There is a good answer (not the accepted one) here: Django sending email
