Question

Here’s my code (yes I censored my email/password) (when you click button)

Dim Mail As New MailMessage
Mail.Subject = "test email"
Mail.To.Add("*****")
Mail.From = New MailAddress("*****") '
Mail.Body = "This is an email!"
Dim SMTP As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com")
SMTP.EnableSsl = True
SMTP.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("*****", "*****")
SMTP.Port = 587
SMTP.Send(Mail)
MsgBox("Sent Successfully")

The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required. Learn more at (link which doesn’t help)

SOLVED!
I never would have guessed.
Google wasn’t letting me use my account because it was hacked. It apparently was hacked when I was writing code…
