Without having more details it would be hard to help (things like code, which errors you're seeing, etc).

 

I can say that Google disabled the option to send email using SMTP using the account password at some point and forces people to use 2FA and then you can create a separate app password you can use for your application:

I'm guessing this is your issue, but that's just a guess.
