Failed to authenticate on SMTP server with username

This will not work as of May 30, 2022 checkout here https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en&authuser=6 Thanks @sarout for pointing this out.

Did you turn on the "Allow less secure apps" on? go to this link

https://myaccount.google.com/security#connectedapps

Take a look at the Sign-in & security -> Apps with account access menu.

You must turn the option "Allow less secure apps" ON.

If is still doesn't work try one of these:

Go to https://accounts.google.com/UnlockCaptcha , and click continue and unlock your account for access through other media/sites.

Use double quote in your password: "your password"

And change your .env file

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=dianexxxxx@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=xxxxxx
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
because the one's you have specified in the mail.php will only be used if the value is not available in the .env file.
