[you clipped out the critical question, that gives the full context,
from my response  -- is this your google site-wide pw, or an
app-password. i put that back in.]

Google no longer supports the use of your site-wide pw for access to
a service when using a 3rd-party application. You will need to create
and use an "app password" with this application. [or use Oauth 2.0.]

A quick search should turn up the relevant google support document
that explains this, including a link to the app-password generator.
