Laravel mails, google security updates
google has updated policy to not allow "less secure app"

so sending mails by laravel framwork gets little hard, but its still possible, you just need to enable the 2-steps verification and then generate a 16 digit password just for your laravel project and then you can use it to send mail via SMTP

once you update the password with this new 16 digit one, laravel mails will start working again
