Hi,

Do you see any errors in the system logs table?

3

could you specify where to look for that?
in nginx I have the error.log and I don’t see anything
in storage / logs / laravel.logs it does not show any error either

4

It’s a table in the database.

You can also use the UI and use the last tab on the client preview pane.

I found this in the activities table

@Gustavo Are you using 2 factor authentication on GMail? If so, you cannot use your normal password as this needs the 6 digit OTA code. You will need an app password (from your GMail security settings page).

I had this very problem with one of my users accounts :wink:

I had not realized that, good point, I just reviewed them and the options 2-Step Verification and Use your phone to sign in are off

Pity…

Does your password have weird ascii characters in it? If so try changing it to alphanumeric only and see if that works. I’ve had to do this on a couple of accounts.
