I am implementing devise mailers for my application where i have done the following steps:

in model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Include default devise modules. Others available are:
  # :lockable, :timeoutable and :omniauthable
  devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :confirmable,
         :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
end

and then I added migrations of confirmation_token, confirmed_at, confirmation_sent_at

In devise.rb, I added:

  config.mailer_sender = '[email protected]'
  #config.mailer = 'Devise::Mailer'

In development.rb:

config.assets.raise_runtime_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
  config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
      :address => "smtp.gmail.com",
      :port => 587,
      :domain => "mail.google.com",
      :user_name => "[email protected]",
      :password => "somepassword",
      :enable_starttls_auto => true
  }

everything working fine. But the email is not generated. In my console i am getting mail information and link..

my console:

<p>Hello [email protected]!</p>

<p>Someone has requested a link to change your password. You can do this through the link below.</p>

<p><a href="http://localhost:3000/users/password/edit?reset_password_token=M5os3tBYHQrsRaw4TtTt">Change my password</a></p>

<p>If you didn't request this, please ignore this email.</p>
<p>Your password won't change until you access the link above and create a new one.</p>

I haven't added any devise passwords controller / registartion controllers. I am getting a error when i click on Forgot password and enter email and click on "Send me reset password instructions" button. this is the error, i am getting:

Net::SMTPAuthenticationError in Devise::PasswordsController#create

534-5.7.14 <https://accounts.google.com/ContinueSignIn?sarp=1&scc=1&plt=AKgnsbsrrD-

I used Running into SMTP error when trying to send email in RoR app but didn't helped me. What might me the problem?

After checking some options in google, this one works

Click https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/security/lesssecureapps

Enable access for less secure apps here by logging in with the email address you have provided in smtp configuration.

Login into your google account, find "Allow less secure apps" and turn it to ON.
