SMTP AUTH extension not supported by server. i know that this has something to do with smtplib not working for authentication, so how do i fix this? i get that error when i run this code;

import smtplib, ssl

def sendEmail(message):
    smtp_server = "smtp.gmail.com"
    port = 587
    sender_email = "[email protected]"
    password = "password"
    receiver_email = "[email protected]"



    try:
        server = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port)
        server.ehlo()
        server.login(sender_email, password)
        server.sendmail(sender_email, receiver_email, message)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

    finally:
        server = smtplib.SMTP(smtp_server, port)
        server.quit()
sendEmail("hello there")
python
