Authentication fails

I tested your code in both Android version 4.4.2 and 5.0.1 but both version got error "Authentication fails ". I do not use Two-factor authentication. Thank you

Hi! Problem solved: The gmail security settings need to be changed to allow less secure emails coming in. see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25341198/javax-mail-authenticationfailedexception-is-thrown-while-sending-email-in-java/33801654#33801654
