7. The password will be generated, this will be your password for
configuration of smtp rather than your actual account password.
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
:address => "smtp.gmail.com",
:port => 587,
:user_name => 'your-email@gmail.com',
:password => 'google generated password',
:authentication => "plain",
