Getting error when trying to send notifications via SMTP

[ilanms 0]

I tried the following:

User: [MyUser]@gmail.com

Password: copied the password from Chrome (that access the email no problem)

SMTP server: tried smtp.gmail.com:587 and smatp.gmail.com:465, both with and without TLS

I get an unhelpful "an error has occurred..."

Did you enable 2FA for your Gmail account and an app password for applications that don't support 2FA and used this password for authentication?

Again, this is on my PC, not a phone nor tablet.
