I'm getting SMTPAuthenticationError at /rest-auth/password/reset/ error.

I'm using all-auth-rest and set these on settings.py

EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'randomemail@gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 25 # or 587
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'mypassword'

Also I enabled Displaying an Unlock Captcha and allowed less secure app access

What is missing?

Thanks

This configurations is if you work with smtp.gmail.com, other smtp is similiar with this configuration.

  1. Unlock Captha: https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
  2. Change to active: https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'your_gmail@gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'your_password'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = EMAIL_HOST_USER
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'

I think you missed: EMAIL_BACKEND
