I am trying to run the code on this Github repo - https://github.com/swaaz/Bulk-Mailer
The Main.py file is giving me the following error 'smtplib.SMTPAuthenticationError: (535, b'5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at\n5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials i5' .... however I am 100% that the username / password I am using is correct. NOTE: I am entering my username / password in line with main.py file below but have extracted for obvious privacy reasons.
