Invalid login: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted

[hypo-thesis]

I am trying to send some email using Google app password that I generated from my google account and the following code :

const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
  pool: true,
  host: 'smtp.gmail.com',
  priority: 'high',
  from: {
    name: 'my name',
    address: '[email protected]'
  },
  port: 587,
  secure: false,
  auth: {
    user: "[email protected]",
    pass: "kbpzbvrkrrqvjwfb", // also tried with spaces
  },
  tls: {
    rejectUnauthorized: false
  }
});

Which I run into :

Error: Invalid login: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. For more information, go to
535 5.7.8  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials 2adb3069b0e04-521f38d7f71sm2899713e87.194 - gsmtp

Everything had been working for the past 6 months but suddenly today I can not longer access it. I did generate a new key which didn't change anything.

having the same issue right now, it was working fine until it stopped

EDIT: nevermind, generated a new password and it worked, it seems obvious but have you tried that? also, your credentials are ok? Have you checked for typos?

I tried it, it doesn't work. Thought Google has blocked my server IP. I contacted them since I have a business account. Their reps are really uneducated and told me everything was alright from their end. I changed my server with the same set up and codes. The new server goes through but the old one still gives me the password error. I am at a loss for words. I don't know whether Google is causing this or somehow Nodemailer is not sending the credentials correctly.
