I am trying to add a confirm email address feature to my web app. I configured the XAMPP server and changed all the required lines in php.ini and sendmail.ini But when I tried to send a mail, I got the following message from Google.

Screenshot of the mail

Can this be fixed?

I used the following link to configure

How to configure XAMPP to send mail from localhost?

The following is the code to send mail.

<?php
$to      = 'nikamanish007@gmail.com';
$subject = 'php mail';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'from manish';

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
    echo 'mail sent';
}
else
{
    echo 'mail not sent';
}
?>

  • Please provide more detail when you configured it, to make it more clear. Do you use OAuth or whatever it's. – Eko Junaidi Salam Jan 18 '16 at 01:58
  • I'm sure this is a Google thing, your solution is to understand their security requirements and use them accordingly. For example, you may not be using SSL/TLS which could be a requirement. The error message is right there "Someone just tried to login via an insecure app" However you can disable that somewhere in your config.

You need to enable Allow less secure apps: ON in your gmail account.

  1. Go to Gmail account security
  2. Click on Sign-in & Security
  3. Scroll down, there will be an option "Allow less secure apps" which is set to OFF by default, just turn on the setting and check.
