Nodemailer - I am using 2 steps verification and generated password and still get error Username and Password not accepted - why?

Question

I am using nodemailer to send emails. Every post ive seen so far sugegest to generate a password in google since 2022. I followed these steps:

1. from manage your account
2. select security
3. from Signing in to Google ==> make your account 2- step verification
4. from Signing in to Google ==> select app passwords
5. make a password for nodemailer and use it instead of your password

but still I always get the error:

Invalid login: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted

my code where I use the generated password:

 let transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
            host: "smtp.gmail.com",
            port: 465,
            secure: true, 
            auth: {
                user: 'myRegularEmail@gmail.com', 
                pass: 'qwlbhgd...', // generated password
            },
        });
        
        let info = {
            from: 'myRegularEmail@gmail.com', 
            to: "receipient@yahoo.com",
            subject: "Hello ✔", // Subject line
            text: "Hello world?", // plain text body
            html: "<b>Hello worldddd?</b>", // html body
        };
        transporter.sendMail(info, function (err, info) {
            if (err) {
                return ('Error while sending email' + err)
            } else {
               res.status(200).send("it worked")
            }

        });

I feel like Im doing everything how its suggested. What am I doing wrong?

I used a gmail generated password, I use the 2 steps verification and sue the code thats suppose to work.
