unable to send email with phpmailer with gmail account

Question

I readly feel confused why i test many many example and correct example to send email with php mailer with gmail account but it did not work,here is the error

> 2015-04-21 07:06:50   CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO www.ariarules.com
 2015-04-21 07:06:50    CLIENT -> SERVER: STARTTLS
 2015-04-21 07:06:50    CLIENT -> SERVER: EHLO www.ariarules.com
 2015-04-21 07:06:50    CLIENT -> SERVER: AUTH LOGIN
 2015-04-21 07:06:50    CLIENT -> SERVER:
 2015-04-21 07:06:52    SMTP ERROR: Username command failed:   
 535          Incorrect authentication data
 2015-04-21 07:06:52    SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.
 2015-04-21 07:06:52    CLIENT -> SERVER: QUIT
 2015-04-21 07:06:52    SMTP connect() failed.
 Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed.

and my code

$mail = new PHPMailer(); // create a new object
$mail->IsSMTP(); // enable SMTP
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // authentication enabled
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; // secure transfer enabled REQUIRED for GMail
$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$mail->Port = 587; // or 587
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Username = "googleaccount@gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "pass";
$mail->SetFrom("user@gmail.com");
$mail->Subject = "Test";
$mail->Body = "hello";
$mail->AddAddress("user@gmail.com");
if(!$mail->Send())
{
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
echo "Message has been sent";
}

at end it's better to know i test tls & ssl with port 465 & 587 but....

gmail does not allow to send emails from less secured applications. there is an option 'access for less secured apps' in google account settings. turn that on and you will be able to send emails.
