Gmail Setup in Moodle

Gmail Setup in Moodle

Hi all! I am running the Turnkey Linux VM of Moodle 3.7+ (Build: 20190530). I am trying to setup SMTP via gmail, but I'm getting an error. It's saying that the server doesn't accept my username and password, but I am able to login to gmail using those same creditials. 

I have turned off the less secure apps block. I found a page that mentioned visiting a captcha page for authentication, which I did from a client machine. However, I am unable to do so from he server because it doesn't have a desktop GUI (yes, I am aware text based browsers exist, but...yeah). 

Does anyone have any ideas? 

Thanks!
