Well, you know that , changes string to tuple? Just delete it :)
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com',
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]',
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password1',
# should look like this:
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_HOST_USER = '[email protected]'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password1'
And I think you will be good to go (I assume that you created app_password in Google account as changes came since 01.06 this year and it's not account passowrd)
