Dear Dave, Thanks for your reply. I could fix my issue modifying the smtp server port to 465. Since the problem was related to the use of SSL, Google prefers the use of 465 port for SSL. [smtp] server = smtp.gmail.com: <http://smtp.gmail.com:587/>465 sender = myu...@gmail.com login = myuser:mypassword tls = true ssl = true
And you right, I had also to change, in my google account, an option to activate the use of less secure apps. Maybe this is not the safe way to solve this issue, but it works for me. You can On/Off the use of less secure apps in your Google account at: https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps in Security section. More information about it can be found here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en https://www.siteground.com/kb/google_free_smtp_server/ Best regards, Víctor On Wed, May 27, 2020 at 3:42 AM Dave S <snidely....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Wednesday, May 20, 2020 at 6:03:34 AM UTC-7, VJ Sosa wrote: >> >> Dear all, >> >> I'm using the library to manage users in web2py (it includes functions >> such as login, profle, lost_password, etc..). >> When I try to use the function lost_password, it ask for my email to send >> me the password, but >> it can not send the email.
