mail notification via gmail

[Freesnofla]

Hello,
I followed the below guide to get the email notifications settled.

http://www.sw33tcode.com/?p=7

Code:

Fill in the following fields:
 
    From Email: youremail@gmail.com
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
    Port: 465
    Security: SSL
    Authentication: Check Enable SMTP Authentication
    Username: youremail@gmail.com
    Password: xxxxxxxx (Google account password)
    Authentication Method: Login

When I press the test mail button I get the following message:

Code:

Your test email could not be sent: (534, '5.7.9 Application-specific password required. Learn more at\n5.7.9 http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=185833 pt2sm3790054bkb.8 - gsmtp')

I haven't any idea where I'm wrong.

Application specific password is that google 2-factor authentication. You'll have to setup an application specific password through gmail's website.

Yes I see, that's the point so I will go for 2-factor authentication. Thx for helping me out.
