@indianseomarketer,

Actually, Gmail allows to use several ways for user authorization on the server

  • oauth authentication
  • login/password with SSL encryption (needs to be enabled less secure apps)

You may may use any of it. Login/password is considered less secure then oauth authentication. You have to use oauth if you need without less secured enabled. Please visit below link for your convenience.
