I send mail using CodeIgniter, but it returns this error:

Failed to authenticate password. Error: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted

Here is my code: 

 $this->load->library('email');
        $config = Array(
            'protocol' => 'smtp',
            'smtp_host' => 'ssl://smtp.googlemail.com',
            'smtp_port' => 587,
            'smtp_user' => '[email protected]',
            'smtp_pass' => 'mypass',
            'mailtype'  => 'html',
            'charset'   => 'iso-8859-1'
        );
        $this->load->library('email', $config);
        $this->email->from('[email protected]');
        $this->email->to('[email protected]');
        $this->email->subject('This the test');
        $this->email->message('this is the test message');
        if (!$this->email->send())
        {
            echo $this->email->print_debugger();

        }

I've configured my Xampp server using this question: How to configure XAMPP to send mail from localhost?

  • This is a response from the mail server. It sounds like you're using the wrong username and password for that server. – miken32 Jun 26 '17 at 17:10

Change the smtp port to 465 if you are using ssl.
