To use Gmail with user and password you need to enable "Insecure apps" in your Gmail account, I don't remember if this setting gives you an specific password different from your normal login or not, but I don't recommend using Gmail as SMTP because it can flag your account as spam and block it, I use zeptomail from Zoho to send transactional emails, it's cheap and less difficult to gain prod access
