Great tutorial format by the way, quite easy to follow.
On my local machine, activation works correctly using my gmail account (EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend').
Email is sent, clicking the link activates the user and sets the signup_confirmation bool value to True and the user may now login.
However, once I push it to my live google VM, it no longer works and gives me the error:
SMTPAuthenticationError at /accounts/signup/

Hi, I am glad you liked the tutorial. Google blocks sign-in attempts from apps which do not use modern security standard. You can however, turn on/off this safety feature by going to the link below:

Do you have any idea about this?
Thank you!
