My site’s contact and signup forms have suddenly stopped sending messages. The error log points to failed credentials, and I’m currently routing the messages through Gmail with standard SMTP authentication. I’m not sure whether “Less secure app access” is still enabled or if a recent Google change broke the setup. I need you to: • Audit the existing SMTP configuration (host, port, encryption, username / password). • Update or replace the credentials, switching to an App Password or OAuth if required. • Test and confirm that all form submissions reliably land in the intended inbox. • Provide a short note outlining the fix so I can maintain it in the future. The codebase is straightforward, so I expect this to be a focused troubleshooting task rather than a full rebuild. If you have solid experience with Gmail SMTP, OAuth flows, or similar email-delivery issues, I’d love your help getting mail flowing again.

Google killed "Less secure app access" back in 2022, so that's almost certainly the issue. I'll switch you to an App Password or OAuth2, verify the SMTP config (host, port, TLS), test all forms, and leave you a short doc so you can maintain it. Quick fix, done today.

Hey there, Your forms failing to send due to Gmail credential errors is a classic sign of Google retiring "Less secure apps" or an expired password. I’ve spent the last 4 years fixing exactly these SMTP‑Gmail breakdowns, and I can jump straight in to audit your host/port/encryption setup, verify authentication, and switch you to a secure App Password or OAuth so delivery becomes rock‑solid. I’ll correct the credentials, test every form submission, and document the fix clearly. Do you prefer switching to a Gmail App Password or would you like me to set up OAuth for long‑term stability? Thanks, Ribal A.

Dear Client, I have read your requirements carefully, and I understand you need to restore your website’s contact and signup email flow by fixing the current Gmail SMTP authentication issue. I have already built several similar email-delivery and troubleshooting projects before, including Gmail SMTP fixes, App Password setup, OAuth-based mail configuration, and form delivery testing. The best solution is to first audit the existing SMTP settings and error logs, then replace the broken authentication method with a stable Gmail-compatible setup such as an App Password or OAuth, depending on your environment. I will test all form flows carefully and provide a short maintenance note so you can manage it easily later. I’m new on Freelancer, but I bring rich experience and would love for this project to become my first approved project on the platform. I can complete this project within your required timeline, and I would be happy to discuss the cost in detail based on the exact scope. Best regards, Oluwatobi Okedairo
