Why is mail not sent to Yandex (PHP Mailer)?

Question

PHPMailer

I'm trying to send an email using Yandex SMTP using PHP Mailer. Registered mail, set the application password, entered the mail (activated it). PHP Mailer setup code:

$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';

$mail->Mailer = 'smtp';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.yandex.ru';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = EMAIL;
$mail->Password = ПАРОЛЬ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЯ;


$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';

$mail->SMTPOptions = [
  'ssl' => [
    'verify_peer' => false,
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
    'allow_self_signed' => true

  ]
];

...

$mail->send();

As a result, this error:

> SMTP Error: Could not authenticate.

The email address and password of the application are correct. Neither SSL nor TLS work. Tell me which direction to look for.

Answer 1

An application password is not required. Use the user's e-mail and password.
